Relaxin is a peptide hormone that exerts numerous effects in a variety of tissues across a broad range of species. Although first identified more than 75 years ago interest in relaxin biology has waxed and waned over the years consistent with peaks and troughs of new experimental data on its wide-ranging biological effects and advances in relaxin enabling technologies. Recent insights into species-dependent differences in relaxin biology during pregnancy have once again stimulated a relative surge of interest in the study of relaxins reproductive biology. Identification and pharmacological characterization of orphaned relaxin receptors and exploration of its paracrine effects on pregnancy using genomic and proteomic technologies have succeeded in fueling current interest in relaxin research. Primates and non-primate vertebrates exhibit very disparate profiles of relaxin genomics, proteomics and functional biology. Non-human primates appear to exhibit a very close similarity to humans with respect to

Introduction: The RELAX-AHF (Relaxin in Acute Heart Failure [AHF]) Phase lll study (NCT00520806) examined the effects of serelaxin (recombinant human relaxin-2) in patients with AHF, and demonstrated favorable tolerability with benefits on short- and longer-term outcomes. The present study evaluated the effect of hepatic impairment on serelaxin pharmacokinetics (PK). Secondary study objectives included safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of serelaxin.. Methods: This open-label, parallel-group study (NCT01433458) enrolled patients 18-70 years of age (mean age 52.0; SD 8.8) with mild (n=9), moderate (n=8), or severe (n=8) hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A, B, and C, respectively) and matched healthy volunteers (n=24). All subjects received a single 24h IV infusion of serelaxin 30 μg/kg/day. Blood sampling and standard safety assessments were conducted. Noncompartmental PK parameters were estimated based on the serelaxin serum concentration-time profiles. Primary PK parameters [including ...

Porcine relaxin (250 guinea-pig units/mg) infused intravenously into anaesthetized rats at 20 μg/h reversibly abolished spontaneous intra-uterine pressure cycles yet left the myometrium responsive to oxytocin in doses of 4-8 mu. The inhibition was found to be primarily of the frequency, rather than of the amplitude, of pressure cycles. Relaxin (5 or 10 μg) was capable of completely suppressing uterine activity driven by prostaglandin F2α infusion in oestrogen-treated ovariectomized rats. Whereas the β-adrenergic blocker, propranolol, had no effect on relaxin-induced inhibition, phentolamine, an α-blocker, significantly delayed the relaxin effect. It is unlikely, however, that relaxin operates through an α-inhibitory receptor. The results show that relaxin acts primarily as a frequency modulator and is capable of antagonizing an exogenous myometrial stimulant. ...

Human relaxin-2 (relaxin), originally identified as a peptidic hormone of pregnancy, is now known to exert a range of pleiotropic effects including vasodilatory, anti-fibrotic and angiogenic effects in both males and females. It belongs to the so-called relaxin peptide family which includes the insulin-like peptides INSL3 and INSL5, and relaxin-3 (H3) as well as relaxin. INSL3 has clearly defined specialist roles in male and female reproduction, relaxin-3 is primarily a neuropeptide involved in stress and metabolic control, and INSL5 is widely distributed particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. These members of relaxin peptide family exert such effects binding to different kinds of receptors, classified as relaxin family peptide (RXFP) receptors: RXFP1, RXFP2, RXFP3, and RXFP4. These G protein-coupled receptors predominantly bind relaxin, INSL3, relaxin-3, and INSL-5, respectively. RXFP1 activates a wide spectrum of signaling pathways to generate second messengers that include cAMP and ...

Serum relaxin levels were analysed in 12 healthy women every other day during the menstrual cycle and during a second cycle on oral contraceptives. Relaxin levels in 7 women with posterior pelvic and lumbar pain were also measured. Relaxin was detected during both the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle in some of the healthy women. Serum levels were further increased during the use of oral contraceptives. Oestradiol levels in the untreated women correlated to the relaxin levels. Women with posterior pelvic and lumbar pain had higher relaxin levels than did healthy women, a finding that needs to be further explored. Our data indicate the existence of sources for relaxin production other than the corpus luteum in the non-pregnant woman. Endogenous and exogenous oestrogens may stimulate the production of relaxin.. PIP:. In Sweden, clinicians took blood samples every other day during one menstrual cycle from 12 healthy women aged 19-42 taking no medication and during a second ...

Selection of engram-forming cells is regulated by somatostatin-positive dendrite-targeting interneurons, which inhibit pyramidal cells that are not required for memory formation. Here, we found that γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-releasing neurons of the mouse nucleus incertus (NI) selectively inhibit somatostatin-positive interneurons in the hippocampus, both monosynaptically and indirectly through the inhibition of their subcortical excitatory inputs. We demonstrated that ...

The G-protein-coupled relaxin family receptors RXFP1 and RXFP3 are widely expressed in the cortex and are involved in stress responses and memory and emotional processing. However, the identification of these receptors in human cortex and their status in Alzheimers disease (AD), which is characterized by both cognitive impairments and neuropsychiatric behaviours, have not been reported. In this study, we characterized RXFP receptors for immunoblotting and measured RXFP1 and RXFP3 immunoreactivities in the postmortem neocortex of AD patients longitudinally assessed for depressive symptoms. RXFP1 and RXFP3 antibodies were characterized by immunoblotting with lysates from transfected HEK cells and preadsorption with RXFP3 peptides. Also, postmortem neocortical tissues from behaviourally assessed AD and age-matched controls were processed for immunoblotting with RXFP1 and RXFP3 antibodies. Compared to controls, putative RXFP1 immunoreactivity was reduced in parietal cortex of non-depressed AD ...

Effect of relaxin on human sperm functions.: Relaxin is a circulating hormone with functions in pregnancy, parturition, and other aspects of female reproduction

Previous clinical studies have strongly suggested that relaxin is a systemic and renal vasodilator. In nonclinical studies, relaxin administration to monkeys has been associated with increased vessel density in the endometrium, and in previous human trials relaxin administration has been highly correlated with increased menstrual bleeding in women. VEGF has been proposed as a mechanism for these endometrial effects. Together, these data suggest that relaxin may be able to relieve systemic and renal vasoconstriction and improve placental perfusion in women with preeclampsia. As a first step in the development program for relaxin in this indication, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I safety study in women with severe preeclampsia has been launched in the USA ...

Impaired vascular adaptation in the uterus during early pregnancy contributes to increased risk of pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia, miscarriage and intrauterine growth restriction. The peptide hormone relaxin reaches peak circulating concentrations at the end of the first trimester in pregnant women, and is thought to promote angiogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of relaxin in uterine vascular adaptations during early pregnancy. We examined the effects of relaxin-deficiency on uterine gene expression in early pregnancy, focusing specifically on angiogenic genes. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to measure gene expression in uterine tissue prior to implantation (days 1-4) in wild type (Rln+/+) and relaxin-deficient mice (Rln-/-). Gene expression was also quantified in the uteri of Rln-/- mice at day 4 of pregnancy after 3 days of relaxin (0.2μg/μl/hour, Alzet® osmotic minipump) or saline (0.9%) treatment. Genes analyzed included angiogenic factors (vascular ...

Symphyseal width was assessed in 15 non-pregnant females using radiography and ultrasonography. Regression equation: y = 0.98x + 0.30 (mm), r2 = 0.72. The latter technique was used in subsequent studies.. Symphyseal width at onset of labour in 24 women was on average 6.0 mm for those with and 5.5 mm for those without pelvic pain. A second measurement was obtained from 16 of those women when the fetal head was at the ischiadic spines. The average symphyseal distension was 0.2 mm and 1.1 mm, respectively (p=0.02).. In a cohort of 49 women, symphyseal width was assessed at 12 and 35 weeks of pregnancy and at 5 months post partum. Those with disabling pain during pregnancy and none at follow-up (n=6) had wider symphyses as 35 weeks (6.3 mm) than controls (n=33) (4.5 mm) (p,0.001).. A cross-sectional analysis at 35 weeks of pregnancy of the above 49 women and 19 consecutive referral cases with severe pelvic pain, showed a mean symphyseal with of 4.5 mm for controls (n=38), compared to 5.7 mm for ...

These areas all affect your sleep quality, bonding with your baby, sexual function and getting back to normal levels of exercise.. 2 Hormones during pregnancy and breastfeeding may put you at increased risk of injury. The hormone relaxin increases the flexibility of your soft tissues and joints and can remain in the body for up to six months after delivery, making you prone to joint strains or sprains. The hormones produced when breastfeeding can also have an effect on your soft tissues which is why it is important to really build up your muscle strength and core stability before you return to impact exercise.. 3 30% of women have ongoing urinary incontinence post pregnancy and 50% have some form of prolapse after childbirth.

The renin-overproducing transgenic rat (mREN2) has recently been proposed as a model of left ventricular (LV) hypertension and fibrosis. Comparing mREN2 (n=7) to sex- and age-matched Wistar-Han control rats (WHAN, n=11), we have confirmed hypertension (mean blood pressure: 174±9 vs. 107±3 mmHg, P,0.001), hypertrophy (LV weight:body weight: 4.0±0.1 vs. 2.7±0.1 mg/g, P,0.001), and cardiac fibrosis. At the protein level, LV from mREN2 exhibited significantly higher percentage of interstitial collagen per total protein area versus WHAN (5.95±1.01% vs. 1.96±0.06%, P=0.02). At the level of LV function, mREN2 hearts demonstrated significant diastolic dysfunction (increased stiffness coefficient from stress-strain relationship: 198±30 vs. 78±10, P=0.01, and reduced magnitude of dP/dtmin: 1254±125 vs. 2000±110 mmHg/s, P,0.001), and impaired relaxation (increased relaxation time constant: 0.048±0.001 vs. 0.043±0.001 s, P=0.002).

Dr. Samuel Yue, M.D., discusses his clinical observations of fibromyalgia in female patients and his subsequent discovery that the hormone relaxin is

A recombinant form of the pregnancy hormone relaxin appears to improve dyspnea and possibly even cut mortality risk in acute heart failure patients, a clinical trial found.

This can lead to hypertonicity and shortening in the upper abdominals, the lower lumbar extensors, the iliopsoas, piriformus, rectus femoris and hamstrings, with weakening in the scapular adductors, the lower abdominal muscles, the pelvic floor and the gluteals. There is a tendency for these tissues to remain in their new, shortened or stretched states after childbirth, potentially leading to permanent pelvic asymmetry and pubic, lumbar or thoracic problems.. In addition, the pregnancy hormone relaxin leads to laxity in the joint capsules and ligaments that support the joints of the lumbar spine, pelvis and hips. For example, a normal joint space in the pubis symphysis is 4 millimeters. With pregnancy, this increases to 9 millimeters by birth, leading to a less stable joint and greater possibility of injury over time. This ligamentous laxity lasts for six to 12 weeks after birth.. In as many as one out of 600 pregnancies, postpartum dysfunction in the pubis symphysis leads to pain performing ...

Remember, you are more apt to tear and strain muscles now because the pregnancy hormone relaxin, which allows the uterus to expand, also acts on all connective calcium supplements after pregnancy. With the infant growing larger every week this will put a strain on your again muscular tissues because it now needs to assist each you and the child. Your due date is normally calculated this manner : Subtract three months from the first day of your final menstrual period (LMP), then add seven days - thats your due date the following year.

Early pregnancy detection in dogs can be extremely difficult. A blood test can detect pregnancy in dogs by measuring the hormone relaxin; however false negatives can occur if the test is performed too early in the pregnancy, or if the dog is carrying only one or two puppies (see handout: Pregnancy Testing in the Dog). A positive test indicates that the dog is pregnant at the time of the test, but does not mean that the pregnancy will be successful. A veterinarian can perform a trans-abdominal palpation (feeling the abdomen for an enlarged uterus or for individual fetal swellings) at about three to four weeks after mating, but the results are variable. In some cases, results depend more upon the relaxation of the female dog than upon the experience of the veterinarian.. ...

Edema (Foot growth-fluid retention). Edema affects about three quarters of pregnant women around week 22 to week 27. Body fluids increase to nurture both you and your baby, and accumulate in your tissues as a result of increased blood flow and pressure of your growing uterus on the pelvic veins. This results in swollen ankles and feet. In addition to edema, the rest of your ligaments are loosening because of the hormone Relaxin, allowing your bones to spread out. This causes your feet to grow and they may permanently stay up to a full shoe size larger.. Here are some tips to lessen the swelling:. ...

We report the identification, the cDNA cloning, the temporal and spatial expression pattern analysis of the rln gene in the Zebrafish Danio rerio. The deduced Rln B and A domains show different evolutionary conservation. Rln B domain shows higher similarity when compared to zebrafish and human RLN3 B domain than human RLN1 and RLN2 B domain. Differently, the zebrafish Rln A domain shows relatively low amino acid sequence similarity when compared with the same sequences. The rln gene is transcribed both during embryogenesis and in adult organism, where higher transcript level has been particularly evidenced in the brain. Moreover, we provide the first description of rln spatial expression pattern during embryonic development. In particular, we show restricted transcript localization starting at the pharyngula stage in olfactory placode, branchial arch region, and in a cell cluster near to otic vesicle. In larval stage, new transcription territories have been detected in both neural and non-neural ...

BACKGROUND: Serelaxin, recombinant human relaxin-2, is a vasoactive peptide hormone with many biological and haemodynamic effects. In a pilot study, serelaxin was safe and well tolerated with positive clinical outcome signals in patients with acute heart failure. The RELAX-AHF trial tested the hypothesis that serelaxin-treated patients would have greater dyspnoea relief compared with patients treated with standard care and placebo. METHODS: RELAX-AHF was an international, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, enrolling patients admitted to hospital for acute heart failure who were randomly assigned (1:1) via a central randomisation scheme blocked by study centre to standard care plus 48-h intravenous infusions of placebo or serelaxin (30 μg/kg per day) within 16 h from presentation ...

kristian69. Many thanks for the encouragement, a gain would be inspirational!. I have a nice routine to get the maximum hours. I usually start around the 8.00am mark, until about 6.30pm, take a break to about 9.00pm, then get in the additional 2 to 3 hours. Of course this is helped by the fact that I work from home! However, it is not easy, but I am determined by my fascination to see if this will work!. It is interesting to note in your examples, that gains seem to come in spurts. Some medical studies, suggest there is a 6 week cycle to develop the integrity of new tissue and visibly notice results. I know a lot of guys in PE favour the micro-tears, stretching of ligaments, CC & CS expansion theories rather than new tissue growth, as the reason behind gains. Although, I believe all mechanisms are at work, I think there are good grounds for tissue growth actually occurring, particularly in endothelial and collagen rich areas. Endothelial cells are known to proliferate under certain conditions, ...

N2 - Vertebrates have expanded their habitats from aquatic to terrestrial environments, which has accompanied the evolution of cardiovascular and osmoregulatory hormones. Specifically, mammals have developed mechanisms to maintain high blood pressure and blood volume, while extant fishes have developed hypotensive and Na-extruding mechanisms to adapt to the marine environment where they underwent a vast diversification. The CGRP family is one of the hormone systems that decrease blood pressure and blood volume. Within the CGRP family of teleost fishes, we found that adrenomedullins (AMs) have diversified and five paralogs (AM1-5) form an independent subfamily. Based on this discovery in fishes, we found AM2 and AM5 in mammals. In mammalian species that have AM2 and/or AM5, the peptides assume greater importance in ...

Diabetic mice are characterized by a disrupted expression pattern of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), and impaired vasculogenesis during healing. Experimental evidence suggests that RLX (relaxin) can improve several parameters associated with wound healing. Therefore we investigated the effects of porcine-derived RLX in diabetes-related wound-healing defects in genetically diabetic mice. An incisional wound model was produced on the back of female diabetic C57BL/KsJ-m+/+ Lept db (db + /db + ) mice and their normal littermates (db +/+ m). Animals were treated daily with porcine RLX (25 μg/mouse per day, subcutaneously) or its vehicle. Mice were killed on 3, 6 and 12 days after skin injury for measurements of VEGF mRNA and protein synthesis, SDF-1α (stromal cell-derived factor-1α) mRNA and eNOS (endothelial NO synthase) expression. Furthermore, we evaluated wound-breaking strength, histological changes, angiogenesis and vasculogenesis at day 12. Diabetic animals showed a reduced ...

AU - Bennett, Robert G.. PY - 2015/1/9. Y1 - 2015/1/9. N2 - Relaxin activation of its receptor RXFP1 triggers multiple signaling pathways. Previously, we have shown that relaxin activates &gamma transcriptional activity in a ligand-independent manner, but the mechanism for this effect was unknown. In this study, we examined the signaling pathways of downstream of RXFP1 leading to γ activation. Using cells stably expressing RXFP1, we found that relaxin regulation of &gamma activity requires accumulation of cAMP and subsequent activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). The activated PKA subsequently phosphorylated cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) at Ser-133 to activate it directly, as well as indirectly through mitogen activated protein kinase p38 MAPK.

Relaxins are known endocrine and autocrine/paracrine hormones, belonging to the insulin gene superfamily. In humans there are three non-allelic relaxin genes, RLN1, RLN2 and RLN3, where RLN1 and RLN2 share high sequence homology. The protein encoded by this gene is synthesized as a single-chain polypeptide but the active form consists of an A chain and a B chain linked by disulfide bonds. Relaxin is produced by the ovary, and targets the mammalian reproductive system to ripen the cervix, elongate the pubic symphysis and inhibit uterine contraction. It may have additional roles in enhancing sperm motility, regulating blood pressure, controlling heart rate and releasing oxytocin and vasopressin. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013 ...

Many epidemiologic, clinical, and experimental findings point to sex differences in myofascial pain in view of the fact that adult women tend to have more myofascial problems with respect to men. It is possible that one of the stimuli to sensitization of fascial nociceptors could come from hormonal factors such as estrogen and relaxin, that are involved in extracellular matrix and collagen remodeling and thus contribute to functions of myofascial tissue. Immunohistochemical and molecular investigations (real-time PCR analysis) of relaxin receptor 1 (RXFP1) and estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα) localization were carried out on samples of human fascia collected from 8 volunteers patients during orthopedic surgery (all females, between 42 and 70 yrs, divided into pre- and post-menopausal groups), and in fibroblasts isolated from deep fascia, to examine both protein and RNA expression levels. We can assume that the two sex hormone receptors analyzed are expressed in all the human fascial districts ...
