Spermatozoon acrosome reaction is an exocytotic event of the utmost importance for the development of mammalian fertilisation. Current evidence shows that the triggering of the acrosome reaction (AR) could be regulated by the action of diverse compounds, namely, metabolites, neurotransmitters and hormones. The aim of the present review is to describe the modulating effects of several compounds ...

Hormones play a big role and are huge part of women’s health, including physically, mentally emotionally. If the body produces too little or much some certain hormones, then hormonal imbalance occurs. According to TCM, two organs mainly connected imbalances Kidney Liver. The aim TCM treatment for is balance Yin Yang energy in restore . In this research presented case woman with reduced function...

Thyroid hormone (TH) is important for normal reproductive functions and dysregulation of TH support is associated with reproductive disorders. We have previously reported that 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T₃) increases follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)-induced preantral follicle growth in vitro. Interaction of hormones with apoptosis and proliferation of granulosa cells is poorly understood. The p...

Ovarian steroid hormones exert a broad range of effects on the body and brain. In the nervous system, estrogen and progesterone have crucial feedback actions on the hypothalamic neurons that drive the reproductive axis. In addition, hormones exert a variety of actions on other traditionally nonreproductive functions such as cognition, learning and memory, neuroprotection, mood and affective beh...

BACKGROUND Exposure to tobacco smoking prenatally is a risk factor for reduced semen quality, but whether the exposure has adverse effects on reproductive hormones, pubertal development or adult BMI remain largely unexplored. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between these factors while controlling for the effects of current smoking in young adulthood. METHODS This cro...

Background: Celery (Apium graveolens) has many therapeutic effects.This plant has many phytoestrogens that can affect on the reproductive endocrine system and can reduce fertility .In this study, hydro alcoholic extracts of celery leaves on the pituitary-gonad axis in young male l mice of Balb/C was investigated. Materials and Methods: The samples were randomly divided into 5 groups (three trea...

A woman's breast cancer risk is affected by her reproductive history. The hormonal milieu also influences the course of the disease. The female reproductive hormones, estrogens, progesterone, and prolactin, have a major impact on breast cancer and control postnatal mammary gland development. Analysis of hormone receptor mutant mouse strains combined with tissue recombination techniques and prot...

Endocannabinoids are natural lipids able to bind to cannabinoid and vanilloid receptors. Their biological actions at the central and peripheral level are under the tight control of the proteins responsible for their synthesis, transport and degradation. In the last few years, several reports have pointed out these lipid mediators as critical signals, together with sex hormones and cytokines, in...

Androgens are steroid hormones that play key roles in the development and maintenance of male phenotype and reproductive function. These hormones also affect the function of several non-reproductive organs, such as bone and skeletal muscle. Endogenous androgens exert most of their effects by genomic mechanisms, which involve hormone binding to the androgen receptor (AR), a ligand-activated tran...

The focus on gender-related issues for women with epilepsy has heightened in recent years. The emphasis, however, has been on the childbearing years. Epilepsy and antiepileptic drug treatment affect sexual development, the menstrual cycle, and aspects of contraception, fertility, and reproduction. Female patients with epilepsy at a reproductive age face a unique set of reproductive issues, rang...
