introduction intra-articular injections of platelet rich plasma (prp) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis have been shown to reduce pain and improve joint function. the aim of this study is to examine the joint function by adding intra-articular growth hormone to platelet rich plasma. this study was performed on the individuals with knee osteoarthritis and under ultrasound guidance. conclu...

the batch fermentation production of human growth hormone (hgh) was studied in a newrecombinant escherichia coli. the effect of different levels of dissolved oxygen and glucoseconcentration on cell density and substrate utilization were evaluated. the results indicated that theoptimum level of dissolved oxygen was 25% of air saturation. the specific growth rate reached amaximum for an optimal g...

conclusions performing large muscle group exercises first in re training and progressing to small muscle group produced greater anabolic hormonal response relative to reverse sequence in normal-weight young adult men. anabolic hormonal response to reos was blunted in the obese group. results reos did not affect number of repetitions in none of the groups. the average rating of perceived exertio...

background :subclinical hypothyroidism may adversely affect in vitro fertilization (ivf) outcomes. however the cutoff of thyroid-stimulating hormone (tsh) for diagnosis and treatment is controversal. the aim of this study was to find the association of clinical pregnancy rate with regard to tsh levels in women undergoing ivf.   methods: a historical cohort study of 816 infertile patients who un...

introduction: this research was aimed at examining acute responses of hormones such as growth hormone (gh), total testosterone (tt), free testosterone (ft), free fatty acid (ffa) and cortisol to resistance (r), endurance (e) and endurance-resistance (er) exercise. methods: the participants of this study were 10 healthy young men. r protocol included bench press, lateral pull down, leg extension...

background: benign ovarian cysts are common among both pre- and postmenstrual women. surgical intervention for excision of an ovarian cyst is mandated when symptomatic, or chance for malignancy is high. the damaging effect of surgical ovarian cystectomy on ovarian reserve is debated in recent studies. objective: in the present study we investigated serum level of anti-mullerian hormone (amh) as...

background: anti-mullerian hormone (amh) levels may represent the ovarian follicular pool and could be a useful marker of ovarian reserve. the clinical application of amh measurement has been proposed in the prediction of quantitative and qualitative aspects in assisted reproductive technologies. objective: this study aimed to assess the relationship between the serum levels of amh and results ...
