Effect of Acupuncture on Endometrial Angiogenesis and Uterus Dendritic Cells in COH Rats during Peri-Implantation Period

Microvascular density and vascular endothelial growth factor and osteopontin expression during the implantation window in a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation rat model

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and osteopontin (OPN) are suggested to facilitate angiogenesis and vascular remodeling in endometrial receptivity. Determination of the endometrial microvascular density (MVD) is the commonest method used to indirectly assess the levels of vasculogenesis and angiogenesis; however, the associations among VEGF, OPN and MVD remain unclear. Controlled ovari...

P-140: Effect of Ovarian Stimulation on The Endometrial Integrin ?9, ?v, ?1, ?3 and Apoptosis in The Peri-Implantation Period

Effect of Ovarian Induction Using PMSG and HCG hormones on Uterus Dendritic Cells Population in NMRI mice

Introduction: Ovarian hyper-stimulation is widely used in IVF clinics. The main purpose of this method is to stimulate folliculogenesis and increase the number of oocytes in one cycle. Following ovarian hyper-stimulation, hormonal secretion of the ovary, particularly estradiol and progesterone dramatically increases. Immune cells especially dendritic cells have receptors for the estradiol...

P-161: Effect of Naloxone on Endometrial Growth

Background: There is fine correlation between the infertility and lessening of endometrial thickness. In this study the effects of sedative naloxone, and L-arginine, the precursor of nitric oxide (NO), on endometrial thickness of rat uterus was examined. Materials and Methods: Wistar rats (weighing 200-250 g) in Diestrous phase received intra-peritoneal (i.p.) 1. single L-arginine (50 mg/kg), 2...

Effect of Ovarian Stimulation on the Endometrial Apoptosis at Implantation Period

Background: Apoptosis is a process that plays an important role during early stage of implantation. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of apoptosis in mice endometrium after ovarian stimulation at implantation period. Methods: NMRI female mice were divided into two groups: 1) control group, which were rendered pseudopregnant by vaginal stimulation and 2) experimental group, ...
