ing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone with a low oestradiol concentration confirm menopausal status. In peri­ menopause, some menstrual bleeding may still be occurring, and luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and oestradiol may be normal, or only follicle stimulating hor­ mone may be raised. If there is any doubt about perimeno­ pausal status, blood tests should be repeated...

The use of progesterone for luteal support in stimulated cycles for in-vitro fertilization is well established. However, the benefits of the addition of estradiol are still controversial. The aim of this study was to compare ongoing pregnancy rates in patients stimulated with recombinant follicle stimulating hormone and gonadotrophin releasing hormone antagonist for in vitro fertilization, who ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the safety and efficacy of a transdermal nanostructured formulation of progesterone (10%) combined with estriol (0.1%) + estradiol (0.25%) for relieving postmenopausal symptoms. METHODS A total of 66 postmenopausal Brazilian women with climacteric symptoms of natural menopause received transdermal nanostructured formulations of progesterone and estrogens in the forearm ...

The authors report the generation, structure and function of a fully humanized, humanized antibody that profoundly inhibits follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) actions in cell-based assays. Administration to ovariectomized mice prevented bone loss also accumulation adipose tissue when fed high-fat diet (HFD).

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential association between socioeconomic status and ovarian reserve, anti-Mullerian hormone level, antral follicle count, and follicle stimulating hormone level in women of reproductive age. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 101 married women between 20-35 years of age who presented to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Heal...

The effect of graded exercise on the secretion of cortisol, testosterone, prolactin, growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is reported. While cortisol, prolactin, growth hormone and testosterone rise during the period of exercise, a rise in luteinizing hormone becomes evident only after rest. Levels of FSH and TSH remained ...
