Role of activin a hormone, betacellulin (BTC) growth factor, and Heparin binding epidermal growth factor on mice embryonic development after oral administration of glycyrrhiza glabra
Keywords:
glycyrrhiza glabra, implantation factor, activin A, heparin binding, epidermal growth factorAbstract
Glycyrrhiza glabra is a herbal plant used for treatment of many infertility diseases. Its roots, a common herbal source, are described to soothe fetuses in pregnant mice, but there isn't enough research to know if it's safe to take during pregnancy and its effects on implantation factors. This study examines the impact of the growth factors betacellulin (BTC), heparin-binding epidermal growth factor, and activin A hormone on embryonic development after oral administration of Glycyrrhiza glabra aqueous extract to mice. In line with clinical use, an aqueous extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra roots was prepared. Pregnant mice were randomly assigned to one of four groups: Two mice groups 8 and 28 weeks old treated with water as a negative control, mice aged 8 weeks old treated with aqueous extract from one of two groups for 10 days, and mice 28 years old treated with aqueous extract for 10 days. On study groups, the parameters of certain implantation factors such serum progesterone and Activin A hormones, Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor and betacellulin (BTC) growth factor were evaluated. The four groups had substantial differences in parameters.
