A heterologous ELISA for measurement of osteocalcin (bone Gla-protein) is described, involving biotinylated bovine osteocalcin and polyclonal antibodies. The log-linear range was 2.3-37.5 micrograms/L. Between-run (total) and within-run CVs (n = 10) were 5.7-6.4 and 5.9-6.1%, respectively; analytical recoveries ranged from 92% to 108%. Comparison of our method (x) with an RIA (y) yielded y = 1....

Background: Having low-grade chronic inflammation state symptoms such as elevated C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 play a crucial role in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Green tea has antiinflammatory properties. This research evaluates the effect of green tea on inflammatory indexes. Adult Wistar rats were exposed to subcutaneous administration of estradiol valerate for PCOS induction. P...

Present study was conducted at the Poultry Physiology Unit, Department of Physiology, University of Karachi. Study evaluated the response of varying Estradiol valerate (a synthetic estrogen) doses in broilers (chickens) on the RBC, ESR and Hb at different ages. Two trials were carried out on 100-day-old broiler chicks. Estrogen was injected in volumes of 1ml, 3ml and 5ml subcutaneously in neck....

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is necessary in adolescents with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) in order to avoid estrogen deficiency. The goal of this minirewiew is to present the different types of estrogens (17β-estradiol, estradiol valerate, ethinyl estradiol, and combined equine estrogens) as well as the different types of progestins available. In order to choose among the different...

objective(s): pcos (polycystic ovary syndrome) produces symptoms in approximately 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age (12–45 years old). it is thought to be one of the leading causes of female subfertility. this study aimed to confirm the role of nutrition containing omega-3 (polyunsaturated fatty acid) on control of experimental pco induced by estradiol-valerat in rats. materials and method...

four crossbred cows with mummified fetus were utilized for the study. the cows were subjected to gynecological examination and based on the findings the cases were diagnosed as mummified fetus. the cows were treated with 2 mg estradiol valerate and 500 µg cloprostenol and were examined every 12 hr after 24 hr of the treatment for cervical dilatation and other signs related to fetal expulsion. t...
