Association between leptin and pregnancy loss

Association between Thrombophilic Gene Polymor-phisms and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss in Iranian Women

Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a common problem among couples, and acquired thrombophilia is the well-known etiology of RPL. The aim of this study was to establish the association between inherited thrombophilic gene polymorphisms and RPL. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 50 women with unexplained RPL and 50 parous women with no history of miscarriage (age range...

The Association Between Metabolic Syndrome and Serum Leptin

Objectives: The relation of metabolic syndrome components, insulin resistance and leptin has been studied in elderly women. Methods & Materials: In this cross sectional study, among 225 subjects≥60 year old who were residents of Kahrizak Charity Foundation, 133 (56 men & 77 women) were selected by cluster random sampling. Fasting serum TG, Total Cholesterol, HDL, and leptin levels were measu...

The association between hereditary thrombophilias and pregnancy loss.

The correlation between hereditary thrombophilia and fetal loss is supported by several observations. In murine models, the protein C system has been shown to be essential for the maintenance of pregnancy, as it indirectly acts as a growth factor for trophoblast cells and protects them from apoptosis. In humans, it has been shown that the placenta replaces the yolk sac as an essential source of...

The Association between Y Chromosome Microdeletion and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

BACKGROUND To date, the role of male factor contributing in evaluation of spontaneous recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been less investigated and there is discrepancy in the role of Y chromosome microdeltions in RPL. Therefore, the current study was designed to examine whether Y chromosome microdeletions were associated with RPL in an Iranian population. METHODS One hundred men from couples...
