O-24: Increased Homocysteinein PCOS Affects Oocyte and Embryo Quality
Background: The biochemical characteristics of the follicular fluid (FF) play essential role in oocyte quality, the subsequent fertilization potential and embryo development. The oocyte quality and metabolism largely depends on follicular microenvironment. Present study aimed to investigate the relationship between oocyte quality and FF homocysteine (Hcy) level in women undergoing to IVF treatm...
متن کاملTeratogens and Their Effects
A congenital malformation is an anatomical or structural abnormality present at birth. Congenital malformations may be caused by genetic factors or environmental insults or a combination of the two that occur during prenatal development. Most common congenital malformations demonstrate multifactorial inheritance with a threshold effect and are determined by a combination of genetic and environm...
متن کاملRetinoids As Teratogens
Vitamin A (retinol) is an essential vitamin in the daily functioning of human beings that helps regulate cellular differentiation [2] of epithelial tissue. Studies have shown that an excess of vitamin A can affect embryonic development and result in teratogenesis, or the production of birth defects [3] in a developing embryo. Excess intake of vitamin A and retinoids by pregnant women often resu...
متن کاملHuman immune response to triatomine embryo extract.
Dipetalogaster maximus embryo extracts were used to stimulate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and in ELISA with sera either from Trypanosoma cruzi infected or non-infected individuals. The results showed that there was significant proliferative response and high antibody, titers in sera of chagasic patients.
متن کاملImmunopotentiation with forphenicinol: increased resistance to Pseudomonas septicaemia in mice.
UMEZAWA et al. found that forphenicine, isolated from culture filtrates of Actinomycetes fulvoviridis var. acarbodicus is a specific inhibitor against chicken intestine alkaline phosphatase and it was shown to enhance delayed type hypersensitivity and antibody formation in mice1,2). Thereafter, ISHIZUKA et al. found that forphenicinol, a synthetic derivative of forphenicine, enhanced delayed ty...
