    • Cloning, expression and immunolocalization of alpha(1)-adrenoceptor in different tissues from rhesus monkey and human male reproductive tract 

      Patrão, Marilia Tavares Coutinho da Costa [UNIFESP]; Queiroz, Daniel Barboza Cava [UNIFESP]; Grossman, Gail; Petrusz, Peter; Lazari, Maria de Fatima Magalhaes [UNIFESP]; Avellar, Maria Christina Werneck [UNIFESP] (Oxford Univ Press, 2008-02-01)
      This study reports the genomic organization of the rhesus alpha(1A)-adrenoceptor gene (ADRA1A). Full-length cloning of rhesus ADRA1A splice variants was achieved by combining PCR screening of a seminal vesicle cDNA library ...

    • Effects of the antiestrogen fulvestrant (ICI 182,780) on gene expression of the rat efferent ductules 

      Yasuhara, Fabiana [UNIFESP]; Gomes, Gisele Renata de Oliveira [UNIFESP]; Siu, Erica Rosanna [UNIFESP]; Suenaga, Claudia Igushi [UNIFESP]; Marostica, Elisabeth [UNIFESP]; Porto, Catarina Segreti [UNIFESP]; Lazari, Maria de Fatima Magalhaes [UNIFESP] (Soc Study Reproduction, 2008-09-01)
      The efferent ductules express the highest amount of estrogen receptors ESR1 (ERalpha) and ESR2 (ERbeta) within the male reproductive tract. Treatment of rats with the antiestrogen fulvestrant (ICI 182,780) causes inhibition ...

    • In Vivo Treatments with Fulvestrant and Anastrozole Differentially Affect Gene Expression in the Rat Efferent Ductules 

      Gomes, Gisele Renata de Oliveira [UNIFESP]; Yasuhara, Fabiana [UNIFESP]; Siu, Erica Rosanna [UNIFESP]; Fernandes, Sheilla Alessandra Ferreira [UNIFESP]; Avellar, Maria Christina Werneck [UNIFESP]; Lazari, Maria de Fatima Magalhaes [UNIFESP]; Porto, Catarina Segreti [UNIFESP] (Soc Study Reproduction, 2011-01-01)
      Estrogen plays a key role in maintaining the morphology and function of the efferent ductules We previously demonstrated that the antiestrogen fulvestrant markedly affected gene expression in the rat efferent ductules the ...

    • Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtypes in the Male Reproductive Tract 

      Avellar, Maria Christina Werneck [UNIFESP]; Siu, Erica Rosanna [UNIFESP]; Yasuhara, Fabiana [UNIFESP]; Marostica, Elisabeth; Porto, Catarina Segreti [UNIFESP] (Humana Press Inc, 2010-01-01)
      In mammals, at least five different muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes (mAChRs; M(1)-M(5)) are known to be widely expressed and distributed in different tissues from different species. They mediate distinct ...
