Objective: Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) has been used in clinical treatment of problems related to gynaecology and obstetrics department, including stress urinary incontinence (SUI), low back pain, sexual dysfunction, pelvic pain, and constipation. However, its effect on endometrial thickness and blood perfusion in infertile women with thin endometria is still unknown. We aimed t...

As experiment was conducted with 15 Angus X Hereford heifers that were 16 mo of age at the time the experiment was initiated. The heifers were assigned randomly in equal numbers to be fed low (L), maintenance (M) or high (H) energy diets for 191 d. Overall average weight for heifers at the time the experiment was initiated was 294 +/- 6 kg. All heifers were exhibiting estrous cycles at regular ...

Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common but complex endocrine disorder and is the major cause of anovulation and consequent subfertility. In this study the effect of grape seed extract (GSE) on triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), highdensity lipoprotein-cholestrol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein-cholestrol (LDL-C) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in PCOS Wistar rats were assesse...

Numerous hypotheses have been proposed about the pathogenesis of the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). However, hormonal control of persistent follicles has not been established. The objective of the present study was to compare the follicular structure and hormonal profiles of rats treated with the adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) with two experimental models of PCOS. ACTH-treated animals...

A single injection of estradiol valerate induces a form of cystic ovary resembling some aspects of the human polycystic ovarian syndrome. Preceding the development of follicular cysts, there is an increase in intraovarian synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF) and the low affinity NGF receptor (p75 NGFR). Selective blockade of NGF actions and p75 NGFR synthesis in the ovary restored estrous cyc...

Phytonutrients get attention now days due to their wide application and tendency improve the productive reproductive performance in humans. Hydrolysable tannin (HT) is one of these bionutrients. The present study was aimed investigate therapeutic effect HT on induced polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) rats. Forty-five adult female rats with 4 5 regular estrous cycle were selected. PCOS by a sin...

The psychological symptoms assessed with a validated psychometric scale, SCL-90, were significantly higher in postmenopausal women (PMW; 60 subjects) than in premenopausal women (20 subjects). In the same PMW, the activity of the dopaminergic system, assessed with the PRL response to the dopamine-blocking agent sulpiride, was significantly lower than that in premenopausal women. During a period...

Abstract Introduction The mean systemic estradiol value in menopausal women is < 10 pg/ml, consistent with ovarian failure. Such low values are associated multiple symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood changes and irritability, cognitive changes, weight gain slowed metabolism. Contemporary management estradiol, maximizing safety efficacy, emphasizes non-oral, non-i...
