“Additionally, this adipokine also promotes HUVEC migration and differentiation into tube-like structures by triggering AMPK pathway, which in turn enhances endogenous nitric oxide synthase and PI3K/AKT pathway (Ouchi et al., 2004).”

“In contrast to other steroidogenic organs, placenta does not express the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, a protein that transfers cholesterol towards mitochondrial inner membrane, which is a critical and limiting step for progesterone synthesis (Sugawara et al., 1995).”

“Previous studies have shown that human placenta produces adiponectin (Caminos et al., 2005; Chen et al., 2006), but more recent reports do not confirm these findings (Haghiac et al., 2014; McDonald and Wolfe, 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
