The potential influence of hormonal imbalance on the development of slipped capital femoral epiphysis was assessed through a prospective clinical study. The serum levels of T3, T4, thyroid-stimulating hormone, testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, human growth hormone, adrenal cortex hormone and cortisol were evaluated in sev...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the use of Corifollitropin alfa in patients with previous poor response to recombinant follicle stimulating hormone in long-term protocols using gonadotropin-releasing hormone. METHODS Twenty-seven poor responders to previous treatment with the long term protocol using the recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (Group 1) were selected and then submitted to a s...

Treatment of immature mice with both follicle-stimulating hormone and human chorionic gonadotrophin in vivo resulted in large increases in the specific activities of ovarian alkaline phosphatase and alkaline nucleotidase. The specific activities of other ovarian enzymes studied were not altered by gonadotrophin treatment. A simultaneous change in the Michaelis constant of ovarian alkaline phosp...

Hormone receptor status assessment is necessary for selecting cancer patients who might potentially benefit from endocrine therapy. To determine whether hormone receptor status changes during tumor progression, we retrospectively examined 107 high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) patients with paired primary and recurrent tumor specimens. Hormone receptor expression discordance rates between ...

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is the commonest endocrinological disorder of women in reproductive age group. It characterized by oligo/anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and raised Luteinizing Hormone: Follicle Stimulating Hormone ratio. Elevated levels Hormone, contribute to hyperandrogenism altered ratio between Hormone. The present case report discusses Ayurvedic management - a diagnosed Syndrome....
