Maternal malnutrition during pregnancy may give rise to female offspring with disrupted ovary functions in adult age. Neonatal ovary development predisposes adult ovary function, yet the effect of maternal nutrition on the neonatal ovary has not been described. Therefore, here we show the impact of maternal protein restriction on the expression of folliculogenic and steroidogenic genes, their r...

Objective. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical risk factors associated with adverse outcomes in cases of metastatic ovary tumors during a recent 20-year periods. Patients and methods. One hundred sixty-four patients with metastatic ovary tumors who was confirmed on pathologic diagnosis after surgery in three centers between January 1996 and December 2015. Clinical variable...

Long-term selection for increased ovulation rate (1984 to 2002) has resulted in a unique ovarian phenotype in the MARC Twinner cattle population. Ovulation rate and frequency of bilateral ovulations were examined by rectal palpation in 29,547 estrous cycles for 3,910 heifers (12 to 18 mo of age) in this population. Bilateral ovulations (one corpus lutuem [CL] on each ovary) were of interest bec...

Females are born with a finite number of oocytes, collectively termed the ovarian reserve, established within developing fetal ovary. Consequently, maternal exposure to reproductive toxicants can have harmful effects on future fertility her unborn female fetus. The chemical benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is prominent component cigarette smoke. Despite it being known ovotoxicant, around 8% women in Euro...

Background Polycystic ovary syndrome is a frequent condition in women of reproductive age with prevalence rate of 5-10%. This study purposed to determine the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome and the outcome of assisted reproductive treatment (ART) cycle in Tehran, Iran. MaterialsAndMethods In this historical cohort study, 996 infertile women who were referred to Royan Institute (T...

Reproductive age, ovarian reserve and reproductive capability may be determined from the volume of the ovary. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was done in the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, from January to December 2009, to see the variation in the volume of the ovary with age in Bangladeshi women. The study was performed on 140 post mortem human ovaries collected from...

The African snakehead, Parachanna obscura (Gunther, 1861) is an important food fish in Nigeria and other West countries. To provide useful biological data for management, samples were collected monthly between January, 2011 December, from Ovia River Nigeria. Length-weight relationship (LWR), sex composition fecundity of the species investigated. total lengths ranged 12.8 to 45.7cm, while weight...

OBJECTIVE To compare lipid profile in lean and obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome with normal weight and obese controls. METHOD The case-control study was conducted at the Department of Chemical Pathology, Liaquat National Hospital, Karachi, from March 2006 to April 2007. It comprised 50 cases of polycystic ovary syndrome along with 50 healthy controls matching for age, gender and wei...

The size of the ovary varies substantially among cattle. This variation may influence the potential of the ovary to produce follicles. In the present study, we examined whether a relationship exists between the weight of the ovary and the number of antral follicles >or=1 mm. Paired ovaries were obtained from Holstein x Japanese Black F1 heifers. Follicles were classified into three size categor...

The fundamental target of the present survey is to explore clinical impact resveratrol in treating polycystic ovary syndrome. A number 104 cases suffering from syndrome admitted hospital January 2018 December 2020 were chosen as investigation subjects. categorized into two groups, namely control and study groups through random table technique, with 52 patients each group. Patients group conside...
