Endometrial tissue is under a strong influence of sex hormones. These hormones are considered as developmental factors of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer. We examined the influence of gonadotropins (follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormone) and sex hormones (estradiol, progesterone) on oxidant/antioxidant parameters in blood and endometrial tissue of women with complex endome...

We investigated abnormalities of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and cortisol concentrations in women with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) who were in the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle, and whether their scores for depressive symptoms were related to levels of these hormones. A total of 176 subjects participated - 46 healthy volunteers, 68 patients with fibro...

background: poor ovarian response phenomenon has been observed in some of the in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer patients. some investigations found that follicle stimulating hormone receptor (fshr) gene plays a role in the process, but no direct evidence shows the correlation between genotypes of fshr and ovarian response. objective: exploring the molecular mechanism behind the mutation of...

background: the physiological changes in thyroid gland during pregnancy have been suggested as one of the pathophysiologic causes of preeclampsia. objective: the aim of this study was comparison of serum levels of tri?iodothyronine (t3), thyroxine (t4), and thyroid?stimulating hormone (tsh) in preeclampsia and normal pregnancy. materials and methods: in this case?control study, 40 normal pregna...

Waltheria indica is a common shrub found in many parts of Northern Nigeria for the management several diseases. Although ability to treat infertility, erectile dysfunction and impotency male has been reported ethno-medicine, there no scientific study verify its action on androgens spermatogenic parameters. This seeks evaluate effect methanolic root extract spermatogenesis albino rats. Rats were...

background: recently different studies suggested that discontinuation of gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogue (gnrha) at beginning of ovarian stimulation (improvement of ovarian response to gonadotrophins) may have some benefit to poor responder patients in invitro fertilization (ivf) cycles. objective:the efficacy of gnrha stop protocol in poor responder patients in ivf cycles was assessed...

background: detection of best predictor of ovarian reserve in patients with temporarily or consistently elevated early follicular phase serum levels of fsh is one of the most important goals in assisted reproductive technique (art). objective: to evaluate whether high level of anti-mullerian hormone level is related to success of art in patients with temporarily or consistently elevated early f...
