Recent years have witnessed the discovery that amino acids (AA) are not only cell signaling
molecules but are also regulators of gene expression and the protein phosphorylation …

All mammalian uteri contain glands in the endometrium that develop only or primarily after
birth. Gland development or adenogenesis in the postnatal uterus is intrinsically regulated …

This review considers how our understanding of preimplantation embryo metabolism has
progressed since the pioneering work on this topic in the late 1960s and early 1970s …

The preimplantation mammalian embryo from different species appears sensitive to the
environment in which it develops, either in vitro or in vivo, for example, in response to culture …
