Associations of Metrial Gland with chemical compounds

  • The receptor changes in the myometrium were not as pronounced as in the endometrium especially with regard to the low myometrial levels of nuclear E2 and P. The metrial gland which comes into prominence while the deciduoma is regressing, showed sustained high concentrations of cytosolic P receptor [10].
  • A study has been made of the differentiation of granulated metrial gland (GMG) cells in ovariectomized mice given progesterone and oestradiol at a time equivalent to the first 6 days of pregnancy [13].
  • During the first 2 days of culture IgG was detected in glycoprotein granule-containing granulated metrial gland (GMG) cells [14].
  • The asialo-GM1 antigen was found on rat GMG cells in culture and in cryostat sections of rat metrial gland [15].
  • The possibility that purine-degrading and oxyradical-forming enzymes support decidual as well as metrial gland regression, and thus placental separation, by direct tissue damage and/or by indirect rupture of lysosomal membranes, inducing the release of acid hydrolases, is considered [16].
 

Gene context of Metrial Gland

  • IGFBP-2, -5 and -6 mRNAs were detected in the stroma of the metrial gland [17].
  • METHOD: uNK cells migrating from explant cultures of the metrial gland were assessed for expression (mRNA and protein) of each chain of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) [18].
  • In this study, inducible and endothelial NOS isoforms were immunolocalized to rat granulated metrial gland (GMG) cells using anti-NOS antibodies proven to be isoform specific [19].
  • The number of metrial gland cells as well as the number of uterine leucocytes expressing CSF-1 and c-fms mRNAs was substantially lower in the uteroplacental unit of mice with pregnancy loss than in control animals [20].
  • On days 13 and 14, expression for IGF-I mRNA could be detected in the mesometrial decidua and metrial gland but no expression was observed for IGF-II mRNA [21].
