Effect of estrogen and progesterone on newly synthesised and released human fallopian tube specific proteins.
1998
: Current study was carried out to identify the profile of newly synthesized and released proteins by human fallopian tube (hFT). Results indicated that hFT during menopause synthesised and released only 2-3 proteins as against several proteins ranging from molecular weight (MW) approximately 20 to approximately 130 kD during normal menstrual cycle. In vitro addition of estradiol-17 beta (E2) resulted in synthesis and release of a number of proteins including specific protein of MW 110-130 kD. Addition of progesterone (P) however, led to inhibition of protein synthesis and a combination of E2 and P negated the effect of the latter. An alteration in oviductal secretory protein-profile following addition of E2 in vitro were similar to that observed during normal menstrual cycle.
