Chemical compound and disease context of Ovulation

 

Biological context of Ovulation

  • Early sexual development is normal in ob/ob females; however, ovulation never follows and the mice remain prepuberal indefinitely with no occurrence of oestrus cycles [18].
  • Axillary (underarm) compounds from the same donors which were collected later in the menstrual cycle (at ovulation) had the opposite effect: they delayed the luteinizing-hormone surge of the recipients and lengthened their menstrual cycles [19].
  • Therefore, whereas the pre-ovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone induces both ovulation and luteinization, the ability to suppress the action of nuclear receptors is essential for the coordinated control of ovarian function with the essential process of oocyte release dependent on the activity of the transcriptional co-repressor Nrip1 (RIP40) [20].
  • Male and female rats exhibit sex differences in binding by serotonin 1 receptors in discrete areas of the brain, some of which have been implicated in the control of ovulation and of gonadotropin release [21].
  • This study demonstrates that small pulsatile doses of GnRH can activate cyclic pituitary-ovarian function in hypogonadotropin-acyclic women and induce ovulation resulting in pregnancy and live birth [22].
 

Anatomical context of Ovulation

  • Although antiprogestins do delay ovulation, this effect is inconsistent unless high doses are given, and under these circumstances, the antiprogestin effect is associated with unopposed estrogen action on the endometrium [23].
  • BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that increased numbers of ovulations might increase the risk of p53 gene (also known as TP53) mutation in the ovarian epithelium, thereby leading to the development of cancer [24].
  • After meiotic maturation, ovulation fails, trapping oocytes in the gonad arm where they become endomitotic. emo-1 encodes a homologue of the Sec61p gamma subunit, a protein necessary for translocation of secretory and transmembrane proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum of yeast and mammalian cells [25].
  • Of all adult tissues analyzed, LIF transcripts appear only in the uterus, where their level fluctuates with the estrous cycle, peaking after ovulation [26].
  • Nitric oxide (NO) has been demonstrated to mediate events during ovulation, pregnancy, blastocyst invasion and preimplantation embryogenesis [27].
 

Associations of Ovulation with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Ovulation

  • We demonstrate herein that the targeted disruption of COX-2, but not COX-1, in mice produces multiple failures in female reproductive processes that include ovulation, fertilization, implantation, and decidualization [33].
  • Here we show that the co-repressor nuclear-receptor-interacting protein 1 (Nrip1; encoded by the gene Nrip1) is essential for ovulation [20].
  • PGs made by COX-2 are also important in ovulation and in the birth process [34].
  • We find that sem-5 also has a negative function in let-23-mediated ovulation and suggest that this negative function is mediated by the recruitment of inhibitors such as ARK-1 [35].
  • This finding is in line with the assumption that estrogen mediated ovulation inhibition and stimulation of uterine growth are mediated by ERalpha but not by ERbeta[36]
