Toxicol Lett
. 2009 Apr;
188(3):186-91.
PMID: 19379801
Cadmium exposure induces low birth weight through unknown mechanisms. Since low birth weight is associated to foetal exposure to high glucocorticoids (GC) concentrations, we hypothesized that low birth weight induced...

. 2002 Jan;
172(1):95-104.
PMID: 11786377
We have previously demonstrated that the release of arachidonic acid (AA) from human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-stimulated Leydig cells occurs in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In addition, the amount of...

. 2001 Jul;
24(4):246-52.
PMID: 11454077
In previous reports, it has been demonstrated that progesterone (P) stimulates capacitation, hyperactivation of human sperm motility and initiates the acrosome reaction (AR). This last effect has been related to...

54(4):157-63.
PMID: 11416231
Background: Several human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) derivatives have been detected in healthy human subjects, indicating that they may play a role in cell function. These hCG derivatives include deglycosylated hCG,...

PMID: 9712321
Thapsigargin (TG), a plant-derived sesquiterpene lactone, inhibits several isoforms of both the sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases. Thus, intracellular Ca2+ stores found in the endoplasmic reticulum can be released by...
