relaxin

But because of relaxin's effects, some women find that their feet are larger even after they have given birth.

Thus, for a long time, relaxin was looked at as a pregnancy hormone.

Women who are not pregnant also produce relaxin, but in much smaller amounts.

But in doing its work, relaxin also softens ligaments all over the body.

Relaxin's peak is reached during the 14 weeks of the first trimester and at delivery.

Data available on the functions of relaxin family peptides in vertebrates other than human are very fragmented.

During the first trimester of pregnancy, levels rise and additional relaxin is produced by the decidua.

And Relaxin, a hormone that relaxes the birth canal, is entering clinical trials this year.

The hormone relaxin, found in females during pregnancy, is also related to the loosening of this ligament.

Relaxin is a protein hormone first described in 1926 by Frederick Hisaw.

Specifically the hormone relaxin has been indicated.

As the golden light of torches beckons you to a night filled with life and song, you'll join a casual, relaxin.

He smoked, relaxin gas he did.

The body produces relaxin during menstruation that rises to a peak within approximately 14 days of ovulation and then declines.

During labor, relaxin loosens the pubic symphysis to aid in delivery, but this can lead to later joint problems.

Relaxin is produced from its prohormone, "prorelaxin", by splitting off one additional peptide chain.

Relaxin peptides and their receptors are an example of vigorously diversified ligand-receptor systems in vertebrates.

Specific disorders related to relaxin have not been described, yet a link to scleroderma and fibromyalgia has been suggested.

Serelaxin (RLX030) is an investigational drug targeting the relaxin receptor.

Relaxin receptors have been found in the heart, smooth muscle, the connective tissue, and central and autonomous nervous system.

A pregnant body produces the hormone relaxin, which causes your pelvic ligaments and joints to loosen to make room for the baby's exit.

In pregnant cycles, rather than subsiding, relaxin secretion continues to rise during the first trimester and then again in the final weeks.

European Research has determined that relaxin levels are not a predictor of PGP during pregnancy.

During pregnancy, relaxin serves as nature's way of allowing the female pelvis to achieve distention of the birthing canal.
