In the present study, the pattern of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in health and inflamed porcine uteri was analyzed using real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),Western blot and immunohistochemistry. On day 3 of the estrous cycle, 50 ml of saline or 50 ml of Escherichia coli (E. coli) suspension containing 10⁹ colony-forming units/ml, were injected into each uterine...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether inflammatory changes in uterus caused by Escherichia coli are associated with changes in nitric oxide (NO) production. Therefore, the activity of NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d), a histochemical marker for nitric oxide synthase (NOS), localization of inducible isoform of NOS (iNOS) and tissue content of nitrite were studied in the uterine structures after...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of referred pain observed in female patients with pain from the reproductive organs. We developed a model of inflammatory uterine pain in the rat. Inflammation of the uterus in rats pretreated with Evans Blue Dye resulted in dye extravasation in the skin over the abdomen, groin, lower back, thighs, perineal area and proximal tail, thus providing...
Intrauterine luminal fluid in diestrous mares has been associated with uterine inflammation. The objectives of this study were to measure the incidence of intrauterine luminal fluid in anovulatory mares, and to determine the association of uterine fluid with uterine and oviductal inflammation. Intrauterine luminal fluid was detected ultrasonographically in 18.8% (19101) of anovulatory mares. Thirteen...
Theories regarding the significance of menstruation from the time of Aristotle to the present are reviewed, followed by a brief description of the evolutionary changes in the uterus. A specific duct for the transport of ova first appears in jawed fishes. Its important role in the evolution of internal fertilisation and the protection and nourishment of the embryo is followed through the vertebrate...
