Progesterone induces a rapid increase in [Ca2+]in of Xenopus laevis oocytes.
Open accessAbstract
Progesterone causes a rapid increase in the intracellular free calcium level in fully grown amphibian oocytes. When albino Xenopus laevis oocytes were microinjected with the Ca-specific photoprotein aequorin, the calcium-induced luminescence from this protein increased at 40-60 sec after the addition of progesterone and returned to the control level within 5-6 min. No further change in the aequorin glow could be detected through the remainder of the maturation period. This transient increase in cytoplasmic free calcium may be involved in controlling the resumption of oocyte maturation.

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.
