Takemura M, Itoh H, Sagawa N, Yura S, Korita D, Kakui K, et al.
Mol Hum Reprod . 2005 Oct; 11(9):659-65. PMID: 16199413
Hyaluronan (HA) a glycosaminoglycan with high affinity for water molecules stimulates local inflammatory reactions. Parturition causes a dramatic increase in the amount of HA fragments in the uterine cervix, thereby...

J Soc Gynecol Investig . 2004 Oct; 11(7):457-64. PMID: 15458742
Objective: To investigate whether 17beta-estradiol elevates prostacyclin (PGI(2)) production in human myometrial cells in the middle of gestation. Methods: The concentration of 6-keto-PGF(1alpha), a stable metabolite of PGI(2), in the...

Takemura M, Itoh H, Sagawa N, Yura S, Korita D, Kakui K, et al.
Mol Hum Reprod . 2004 Jun; 10(8):573-80. PMID: 15194816
Intensive local leukocyte infiltration in the uterine cervix is a characteristic feature in the process of cervical ripening. The infiltrated leukocytes include neutrophils, macrophages and monocytes, which are believed to...

Nuamah M, Yura S, Sagawa N, Itoh H, Mise H, Korita D, et al.
Endocr J . 2004 May; 51(2):177-87. PMID: 15118268
Maternal plasma leptin concentration is significantly increased during pregnancy. However, its roles in pregnancy, especially in labor, have not been fully clarified. We measured plasma leptin concentrations in pregnant women...

Kakui K, Itoh H, Sagawa N, Yura S, Korita D, Takemura M, et al.
Mol Hum Reprod . 2004 Jan; 10(2):115-22. PMID: 14742696
The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible contribution of estrogen to pregnancy-associated modulation of nitric oxide production in the human myometrium during pregnancy. Both endothelial nitric...

Kakui K, Sagawa N, Itoh H, Yura S, Korita D, Takemura M, et al.
Endocr J . 2003 Nov; 50(5):535-44. PMID: 14614209
Nitric oxide has various biological activities including smooth muscle relaxation, anti-inflammatory activity, anti-coagulatory activity. As the human placenta is known to express nitric oxide synthases, this study investigated the possible...
