Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is a summary of current concepts relating to molecular mechanisms underlying the ability of oestrogen and progesterone to regulate cellular events in hormone-sensitive tissues during reproduction. Special attention is given to the role of hormonally-regulated cytokines and growth factors in successful mammalian pregnancy. Current understanding of maternal/foetal immune responses is integrated into this fundamental reproductive physiology background. The presentation is designed as a speculative review of one frontier in reproductive physiology.
