Chrusciel M, Rekawiecki R, Ziecik A, Andronowska A
Folia Histochem Cytobiol . 2011 Apr; 48(4):572-80. PMID: 21478100
The fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are multifunctional proteins that, among other roles, regulate structural reorganization of uterine and placental vascular bed during pregnancy. Thus, we analyzed mRNA and protein expression...

Chrusciel M, Ziecik A, Andronowska A
Reprod Domest Anim . 2010 Sep; 46(3):434-43. PMID: 20825582
The umbilical cord (UC) and the placenta are important organs through which respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes and biologically active substances are exchanged between the maternal and the foetal system. A...

Kaczmarek M, Blitek A, Schams D, Ziecik A
Reprod Domest Anim . 2010 Jul; 45(3):481-6. PMID: 20586953
To cope with rising demands for increased blood supply during pregnancy, the vasculature of the uterus undergoes several adaptive changes, including increased permeability, angiogenesis and vasodilatation. Although it is clear...

Blitek A, Waclawik A, Kaczmarek M, Kiewisz J, Ziecik A
Theriogenology . 2010 Feb; 73(9):1244-56. PMID: 20171718
Prostaglandins (PGs) play a pivotal role in maternal recognition of pregnancy and implantation in pigs. In the present study, PGE(2), PGF(2alpha), and PGFM (PGF(2alpha) metabolite) content, as well as PGE(2)...

Blitek A, Kaczmarek M, Kiewisz J, Ziecik A
Domest Anim Endocrinol . 2009 Dec; 38(4):222-34. PMID: 20022444
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of estrus induction with gonadotropins on endometrial and conceptus expression of HoxA10, transforming growth factor (TGF) beta1, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and...

Waclawik A, Blitek A, Kaczmarek M, Kiewisz J, Ziecik A
Soc Reprod Fertil Suppl . 2009 Oct; 66:307-20. PMID: 19848298
Extended exposure of progesterone and conceptus estrogen influences the vascular compartment of the uterus and expression of many factors, such as prostaglandins (PGs), growth factors, extracellular matrix and adhesion molecules,...

Kaczmarek M, Kiewisz J, Schams D, Ziecik A
Theriogenology . 2009 Feb; 71(8):1298-306. PMID: 19233458
In view of the importance of vascular events observed during gestation, it was hypothesized that the VEGF-receptor system plays a critical role during early pregnancy and maternal recognition of pregnancy...

Ziecik A, Waclawik A, Bogacki M
Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes . 2008 May; 116(7):443-9. PMID: 18484512
Establishment of pregnancy in pigs requires estrogen secretion by the conceptus. The developmental changes of embryo before implantation and embryo-uterine cross talk are dependent on various biological molecules secreted by...

Waclawik A, Kaczmarek M, Kowalczyk A, Bogacki M, Ziecik A
Theriogenology . 2008 Apr; 70(2):145-52. PMID: 18439667
Prostaglandins (PGs) of luteal origin may have paracrine and/or autocrine actions on the functions of the corpus luteum (CL). Previously, we have shown that enzymes of PG synthesis pathway such...
