Objectives: It was aimed to investigate the effects of different doses of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and activin A on the growth and maturation of preantral mouse follicles during the in vitro culture. Methods: Preantral follicles (90-100 µm in diameter) were harvested from 6-8 week-old Syrian mice and cultured in TCM199 culture medium for 6 days to see the effect of FSH and Activin A...

introduction: various neuroregenerative procedures have been recently employed along with neurorehabilitation programs to promote neurological function after spinal cord injury (sci), and recently most of them have focused on the acute stage of spinal cord injury. in this report, we present a case of acute sci treated with neuroprotective treatments in conjunction with conventional rehabilitati...

the interaction between molecular biology and embryology made an extensive progress in the research on gametogenesis, fertilization and early embryogenesis in mice. in this article, molecules involving in meiotic maturation and apoptosis of oocytes, sperm-oocyte interactions and early cleavage of fertilized embryos in mice are described including our recent following experiments. 1) phosphatidy...

Objectives This study aimed to compare the presence of blepharitis, ocular tension (OT) with corneal thickness, refractive values and axial length changes in premenopausal postmenopausal women. Materials methods Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle-stimulating (FSH), luteinizing (LH), oestradiol (E2), prolactin, refractions horizontal vertical meridians, OT values, length, central thickn...

The classical view of ovarian follicle development is that it is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, in which gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) controls the release of the gonadotropic hormones follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), and that ovarian steroids exert both negative and positive regulatory effects on GnRH secretion. More recent studies...
