Oxytocin and its receptor in pregnancy and parturition: current concepts and clinical implications

Obstetrics and Gynecology
G G ZeemanM Y Dawood

Abstract

To present our current understanding of oxytocin and its receptors during pregnancy and parturition and their potential clinical applications. A MEDLINE search was conducted for pertinent articles from 1966 to October 1996 related to oxytocin and its receptor and their clinical implications during pregnancy and parturition. Review articles, book chapters, and published trials were also searched. Only references in English that were deemed relevant were used. When possible, human data and sometimes animal data pertinent to understanding the interaction of oxytocin and its receptors were selected. Oxytocin is synthesized in the hypothalamus and in many reproductive tissues during pregnancy, whereas the receptors are synthesized in reproductive tissues. The genes for oxytocin and its receptors are on chromosomes 20 and 3, respectively. Oxytocin and its receptors are regulated by sex steroids and by oxytocin itself. The paracrine and autocrine mechanisms regulating oxytocin and its receptor within the fetoplacental-uterine unit are central to the control of uterine contractions and parturition. Such current understanding provides the basis for appropriate oxytocin regimens to induce or augment labor, to inhibit preterm labor by blo...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
