The number of offspring an organism can produce is a key component its evolutionary fitness and life history. Here we perform test the hypothesized trade-off between size using thousands descriptions egg-producing compartments in insect ovary (ovarioles), common proxy for potential insects. We find evidence negative relationship egg ovariole when accounting adult body size. However, contrast to...

primary ovarian carcinoid tumors of the ovary are rare and represent less than 0.1% of ovarian malignancy. one of its subtypes is the strumal carcinoid in which the thyroid tissue is seen in intimate association with carcinoid tumor. we here report a 47-year-old woman with strumal carcinoid of the right ovary presented with cessation of menstrual periods in the past 3 months and was referred du...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS In spite of recent phylogenetic analyses for the Chenopodiaceae-Amaranthaceae complex, some morphological characters are not unambiguously interpreted, which raises homology questions. Therefore, ontogenetic investigations, emphasizing on 'bracteoles' in Atripliceae and flowers in Chenopodioideae, were conducted. This first paper presents original ontogenetic observations in...

Purpose: To study the effect of berberine on serum hormonal levels, endometrial gene, and protein signaling in a rat model polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods: Eighty-seven healthy female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were assigned to control group, PCOS each with 29 rats. The three groups: control, model, groups, A was established via administration letrozole (1 mg/kg) group continuously for 2...
