In myometrium of pigs and rats, though not humans, relaxin appears to mediate an inhibition of spontaneous and oxytocin-induced contractility, presumably acting through a G-protein coupled receptor (RXFP1) to generate cAMP. In humans, circulating rel... Read More about Relaxin signalling in primary cultures of human myometrial cells.

Insulin-like factor 3 levels in amniotic fluid of human male fetuses (2008)
Journal Article
Anand-Ivell, R., Ivell, R., Driscoll, D., & Manson, J. (2008). Insulin-like factor 3 levels in amniotic fluid of human male fetuses. Human Reproduction, 23(5), 1180-1186. https://doi.org/10.1093/humrep/den038

BACKGROUND: Rodent studies suggest that the peptide hormone insulin-like factor 3 (Insl3) made by the fetal testis is responsible for the first transabdominal phase of testicular descent, and may be affected by xenobiotics to disrupt male reproductiv...
