Background It is important to evaluate ovarian reserves prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) as a marker for ovarian reserve and to compare it with day-3 serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels. MaterialsAndMethods In this analytic, corss-sectional study, sequential sampling was don...

BACKGROUND The nature of the association between the number of oocytes retrieved and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes after fresh embryo transfer remains unclear because of conflicting results reported in the studies on this subject. In addition, the influence of the quality of the embryos transferred is usually neglected. The objective of this study is to assess the relationships of the n...

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate factors affecting number of surface ovarian follicles and oocytes yield and quality in buffalo. In Experiment 1, ovaries (n = 126) were collected in pairs from slaughtered anoestrus, early pregnant and cyclic buffaloes. Ovarian follicles (1-3, 4-9 and > or = 10 mm diameter) were counted, aspirated and oocytes were recovered and evaluated. In Experime...

diminished ovarian reserve (dor) significantly decreases the success rate of the assisted reproductive technique (art). in this study, we assessed the effect of melatonin on the art outcomes in women with dor. a double-blinded, randomized, clinical trial was performed on 80 women with dor as a pilot study in shiraz, between 2014 and 2015. dor was defined as the presence of 2 of the following 3 ...

Background: In recent years, the widespread use of microwave producing instruments specially mobile phones; result in growing concern regarding the possible effects associated with these waves on human health. Some studies highlight the possible health hazards of electromagnetic fields (EMF), while others contest the hypothesis of biological impact of EMF. The aim of this study was to evaluate ...

A total number of 88 fishes Thai pangas were conducted for induced spawning experiments. Among them, 30 mature Pangasius sutchi were conducted for the length-weight relationship, 25 matured females for the fecundity and 33 fishes (12 males and 21 females) for induced spawning experiments. The total-standard length relationship curve shows a straight line with a strong correlation (r = 0.986 and...
