leptin, a circulating 16-kd polypeptide consisting of 167 amino acids, appears to be involved in the body weight homeostasis. moreover leptin plays an important role for the reproductive system, early embryogenesis, and fat metabolism during pregnancy and puberty. significant correlations have been found between leptin and sexual hormones, which is a cytokine and has hormonal properties. the ai...

objectives in this study the association of phenotypes and activity of butyrylcholinesterase (buche) with serum level of lipid-lipoprotein and apolipoproteins during various phases of menstrual-cycle was determined. methods the study population consisted of 22 healthy women aged 19–25 years with regular menstrual cycles, 26–30 days in length. the serum levels of lipids, apolipoproteins, and buc...

the purpose of this study was to investigate and compare whether the explant supernatants prepared from endometrial tissues during the proliferative phase, secretory phase and early pregnancy differ in immunosuppressive activity. specimens of nonpregnant endometrium from hysterectomies and normal first trimester decidua following elective aspiration termination of pregnancy were obtained. super...

the current regulated particle metric in vehicle emissions is the total mass, while during last decade interest in number size distribution has increased. various international studies on epidemiology and toxicology have reported the adverse effect of the particle matter on public health. the unece group of experts on pollution and energy (grpe) under particle measurement program (pmp) are unde...

let g = (v, e) be a simple graph. hosoya polynomial of g isd(u,v)h(g, x) = {u,v}v(g)x , where, d(u ,v) denotes the distance between vertices uand v. as is the case with other graph polynomials, such as chromatic, independence anddomination polynomial, it is natural to study the roots of hosoya polynomial of a graph. inthis paper we study the roots of hosoya polynomials of some specific graphs.

introduction: implantation of transferred embryos in the uterus after ivf_icsi cyclesis an important process that less information about it is available. zona hatching method is a suggested approach for this goal. the aim of this research is about performance of zona hatching by laser. methods: in this study 32 patients that enrolled had ivf/icsi cycles depend on inclusion criteria of study tha...

background: endometrial remodeling occurs during each menstrual cycle in women. reports have shown that, in a variety of cell types, processes such as proliferation, signaling complex formation and extra cellular matrix remodeling require a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, focal adhesion kinase (fak). the present study has focused on the expression pattern of fak in human endometrium during the men...

objective: to evaluate effects ofg-csf on a cancelled art cycle due to thin endometrium. materials and methods: in a nonrandomized clinical trial from january 2011 to january 2013 in two tertiary university based hospitals fifteen patients undergoing embryo transfer and with the history of cycle cancellation due to thin endometrium were studied. intrauterine infusion of g-csf was done on the da...
