Chronic pain disorders are more frequently diagnosed among cisgender women than men, suggesting that female sex hormones could be responsible for mediating chronic pain, including migraine and/or androgens can ...

Increasing interest in events regulating gonadotropin synthesis and secretion led to the reexamination, by radioimmunoassay (RIA), of the pituitary content of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). In a preliminary experiment, the importance of the composition of the solvent used to homogenize pituitaries on the detection of LH and FSH was demonstrated by RIA. Experime...

Objective(s): The purpose of this study was to investigate the change in plasma anandamide (AEA) levels throughout the normal menstrual cycle, and to analyze the relationship among AEA, sex steroids and gonadotrophins. Materials and Methods: The patients were fertile women with normal menstrual cycle, proposed to get in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment due to oviduct obstruction or male infe...

there is a challenging debate on the effect of premature luteinization on the clinical outcome of ‘controlled ovarian hyperstimulation' (coh) using long ‘gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist' (gnrha) cycles. premature luteinization is defined as late follicular progesterone/estradiol ratio more than 1 on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) administration. we carried out a retrospect...
