[ 1 ] - Effect of Thyrotoxicosis on Gene Expression of Hydrogen Sulfide-producing Enzymes in Epididymal Adipose Tissue of Male Rats

Introduction: Thyroid hormones are involved in the regulation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) biosynthesis. The aim of this study is to determine effects of thyrotoxicosis on H2S levels and mRNA expression of cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) in the adipose tissue of rat. Materials and Methods: Male rats were divided into the ...

[ 2 ] - Expression of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Receptor Gene in the Ovary of a Prenatally-Androgenized Rat Model of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Following Androgen Exposure in the Prenatal Period

Introduction: Based on available evidence, exposure of the female fetus to androgens during the prenatal period, by affecting the expression of some genes, can cause polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adulthood. On the other hand, changes in luteinizing hormone (LH) levels and its receptor are associated with the risk of reproductive disorders, including PCOS. The present study aimed to evalua...
