research Testosterone Reduces Tight Junction Complexity and Down-regulates Expression of Claudin-4 and Occludin in the Endometrium in Ovariectomized, Sex-steroid Replacement Rats
Testosterone makes the connections in the uterus lining simpler and lowers certain protein levels, which might lead to infertility.
research Association of estrogen receptor gene variants (ESR1 and ESR2) with polycystic ovary syndrome in Tunisia
Certain gene variants in estrogen receptors are linked to polycystic ovary syndrome, mainly affecting metabolism, in Tunisian women.
research Mechanisms of Submucosal Gland Morphogenesis in the Airway
