| Abstract |
The binary complex involving hyaluronan and inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor (ITI) is an important component of the cumulus oocyte complex. The aim of this study is to investigate the physiological association between ITI and its derivatives and hyaluronan or its binding protein (HABP). ITI and its derivatives (heavy chains of ITI and urinary trypsin inhibitor, UTI) were tested for their ability to interact with hyaluronan or HABP. HABP was used to locate the distribution of hyaluronan in mice ovaries. ITI and heavy chains of ITI, but not UTI, could specifically bind to immobilized hyaluronan. Furthermore HABP could specifically bind immobilized hyaluronan with high affinity, and also to immobilized ITI and its derivatives. 6 h after the injection of human chorionic gonadotropin, the hyaluronan staining in the preovulatory ovaries displayed a heterogenous appearance in which the most intense stainings were observed in cumulus oocyte complex. The distribution of ITI was found to be similar to that of hyaluronan. The hyaluronan binding sites of ITI are located in the heavy chains of this molecule. ITI is concentrated in the pericellular environment of granulosa cells through hyaluronan-binding. The altered amount of hyaluronan and ITI in the preovulatory ovaries may contribute to their important clinical characteristics including cumulus oocyte complex expansion. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 December 2022.
All research outputs
#8,890,141
of 26,240,084 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology & Reproductive Biology
#1,112
of 3,969 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#9,777
of 29,795 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology & Reproductive Biology
#1
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,240,084 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,969 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 29,795 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
