Diet-induced obesity has been associated with various metabolic and reproductive disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome. However, the mechanisms by which obesity influences the reproductive system are still not fully known. Studies have suggested that impairments in hormone signaling are associated with the development of symptoms such as acyclicity and ovarian cysts. However, these stu...

Infertility associated with obesity is characterized by abnormal hormone release from reproductive tissues in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and ovary. These tissues maintain insulin sensitivity upon peripheral insulin resistance. Insulin receptor signaling may play a role in the dysregulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion in obesity, but the interdependence of hormone secret...

CONTEXT Female sexual pain and dysfunction. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of a new site-specific, manual soft-tissue therapy in increasing orgasm and reducing dyspareunia (painful intercourse) in women with histories indicating abdominopelvic adhesion formation.

A major impediment is identifying a safe and effective ...

Sirs, Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal-recessive inherited disease characterised by recurrent episodes of fever, abdominal pain and serositis. Colchicine is effective in preventing attacks that can be stimulated by various stimuli such as stress, cold exposure or infections. In the literature there are many evidences about FMF and female reproductive system dysfunctions: ovari...

Although sexual dysfunction is an important public-health problem in Nigeria, little research has been conducted on this topic in Nigeria. This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and their correlates among female patients of reproductive age using a questionnaire. Respondents were recruited from the out-patients clinics of a teaching hospital s...

Recent studies have demonstrated nanosized titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2)-induced fertility reduction and ovary injury in animals. To better understand how nano-TiO2 act in mice, female mice were exposed to 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg nano-TiO2 by intragastric administration for 90 consecutive days; the ovary injuries, fertility, hormone levels, and inflammation-related or follicular atresia-related cyt...

Two trials involving a total of 39 grits were conducted to determine the effect of feeding naturally molded and Fusarium roseum inoculated corn on reproductive performance of female swine. Trial 1 involved a comparison of the reproductive performance of gilts fed control and naturally infected moldy corn. The length of estrous cycle, duration of estrus, length of gestation period, and average b...
