Electron microscopy and stereological methods have been used to study the time course and mechanism of mitochondrial genesis in the adult fat body of Calpodes ethlius, (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae). Most of the larval mitochondria are destroyed during a

During development of ovarian follicles in mammals, cumulus cells and the oocyte form a mucoelastic mass that detaches itself from peripheral granulosa cell layers upon an ovulatory surge. The integrity of this cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) relies on

The inter-alpha-inhibitor (I alpha I) family gathers together several plasma protease inhibitors such as I alpha I and pre-alpha-inhibitor (P alpha I) that are variously assembled from a set of polypeptide chain precursors designated H1P to H3P. In a

This report characterizes the effects of excess hyaluronan (HA) upon the expansion of the cumulus oocyte complex (COC) within intact follicles and upon ovulation and oocyte viability in mice. Covalent linkage between heavy chains of the inter-alpha-i

This report characterizes the permeability and selectivity properties of the ovarian blood-follicle barrier. Proteins of similar size but opposite net charge possess strikingly different permeabilities with respect to this barrier. Inter-alpha-inhibi

A novel smooth muscle/myometrial-like cell line, SMU1-10, has been generated from the uterus of a H-2Kb-tsA58 transgenic mouse carrying a thermolabile SV40 large T-antigen gene. These cells grow continuously when maintained at the permissive temperat

The formation of myometrial gap junctions coincides with onset of labor in many mammalian species, including humans. The assembly of gap junction protein into functional gap junction plaques is a final step in a cascade that begins with estrogen-depe

We have previously identified a glycoprotein of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor family of proteins as a serum factor responsible for the stabilization of the expanding cumulus mass. In this study, the mechanism of interaction of this cumulus extrac

LH and FSH play critical roles in the development and function of the cumulus oophorus of the mammalian follicle, but the significance of cumulus LH receptors and the nature of the functional interaction between LH and FSH in relation to the process

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) has been widely used in the culture of cumulus-oocyte complexes, since it is believed that FBS stabilizes the expanding cumulus extracellular matrix. In this study, we have identified a factor in FBS that is responsible for t
