Establishment of the need for oestrogen during implantation in non-human primates (2007)
Rao, AJ, Ramachandra, SG, Ramesh, V, Krishnamurthy, HN, Ravindranath, N, Moudgal, NR
Deprivation of oestrogen during post-ovulatory mated cycles in proven fertile female bonnet monkeys by tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitor or oestrogen antiserum resulted in inhibition of pregnancy...
The primary source of 17beta-estradiol (E2) in the male is the testis, which expresses the enzyme complex aromatase that is involved in E2 biosynthesis. However, recent evidences suggest that the...
Differential expression and antibacterial activity of WFDC10A in the monkey epididymis (2006)
Shayu, D, Rao, AJ, Chennakesava, CS
The ability of the epididymis to perform its diverse functions stems from its regionalized gene and protein expression patterns. The differences in the gene expression patterns of the caput and cauda...
Sriraman, V, Anbalagan, M, Rao, AJ
Studies over the last few decades have documented that LH is the principal regulator of Leydig cell function. Recent studies indicate that locally produced intratesticular factors are equally...

Using in vitro model for studying the induction andinhibition of spontaneous apoptosis in human first trimester placental villi, mediated by the free radical scavenger SOD, we have examined the...
The role of follicle stimulating harmone(FSH) in male reproductive function remains a matter of debate although recent evidences strongly suggest a role despite the controversies that arose following...
Sriraman, V, Sairam, MR, Rao, AJ
Spermatogenesis is a complex process, and previous studies have clearly established the role for testosterone in its maintenance. However, the role of FSH remains controversial, although several...

Active immunization of proven fertile adult male bonnet monkeys (Macaca radiata) with phage-expressed follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) -specific peptides from the extracellular domain...
Collagen IV-Mediated Signalling is Involved in Progenitor Leydig Cell Proliferation (2004)
In rats, during postnatal Leydig cell development, the progenitor Leydig cells (PLC) proliferate actively during days 14-21 of postnatal life. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is known to stimulate Leydig...
We have examined the role of 17$\beta$-estradiol and gonadotropin releasing hormone GnRH) in the regulation of functional differentiation in human trophoblasts. In contrast to its recognized...
LCN6, a novel human epididymal lipocalin (2003)
Hamil, Katherine G, Liu, Qiang, Sivashanmugam, P, Anbalagan, M, Yenugu, Suresh, Soundararajan, Rama, ...
Abstract Background The lipocalin (LCN) family of structurally conserved hydrophobic ligand binding proteins is represented in all major taxonomic groups from prokaryotes to primates. The importance...
Sriraman, V, Sairam, MR, Rao, AJ
The relative role of LH and FSH in regulation of differentiation of Leydig cells was assessed using an ethane 1,2-dimethylsulfonate (EDS)-treated rat model in which endogenous LH or FSH was...
Regulation of telomerase during human placental differentiation: a role for $TGF \beta1 $ (2001)
The transient tumor-like attributes of the first-trimester placenta anchor the developing embryo to the uterine wall thus establishing a vital link between the mother and the fetus. Dysregulation of...
Embryo implantation and GnRH antagonists The search for the human placental GnRH receptor (2001)
Hypothalamic gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) plays a major role in the endocrine control of reproduction. Acting through its high affinity receptors on pituitary gonadotrophs, it regulates the...
Role of calcium in secretion of chorionic gonadotropin by first trimester human placenta. (1992)
The role of calcium in regulation of secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) by first trimester human placental minces in vitro has been investigated. Depletion of calcium in the medium by...
Rao, AJ, Rani, CS, Ravindranath, N, Moudgal, NR
Adult male bonnet monkeys maintained under regulated light:dark conditions exhibit a nycthemeral surge of testosterone. The present study attempts to det. the effect of administration of drugs that...
