The current experiment was aimed to explore the influencing of sex-linked dwarf gene on some fertility hormones and biochemical profile in normal local roosters. Thirty roosters at age 28 weeks were housed opened system for 6 weeks. At end 6th week, blood samples collected from all centrifuged obtained sera measuring concentrations Interstitial cell stimulating hormone 'ICSH', Follicle 'FSH' te...

The current study included 80 people who were vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine, 40 males and females, samples drawn after first second doses, (20 20 females) as a control group in Thi-Qar province, southern Iraq, for period from November 2021 to January 2022, sex hormones estimated male female IL-10. Sex by an automated CL device instrument, while IL-10 was measured third-generation ELISA. ...

background: aging contains morphological and functional deterioration in biological systems. d-galactose (d-gal) generates free radicals and accelerates aging. portulaca oleracea (purslane) may have protective effect against oxidative stress. objective: purslane ethanolic extract effects were evaluated on antioxidant indices and sex hormone in d-gal aging female mice. materials and methods: 48 ...

This study was aimed at evaluating the relationship between body mass index, sex hormones and semen characteristics in male adults. 120 male adults aged 20 to 50 years who consented to participate in the study were used. Serum samples collected from each subject were analyzed for luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin (PRL), progesterone, estradiol and testoster...

OBJECTIVE Little is known about the association between thyroid nodules (TNs) and endogenous sex hormones. We aimed to investigate the relationship between TNs and sex-related hormones among men in China. SETTING The data were obtained from a cross-sectional study Survey on Prevalence in East China for Metabolic Diseases and Risk Factors (SPECT-China study, 2014-2015) based on the population....

Sex steroid hormones are major regulators of sexual characteristic among species. These hormones, however, are also produced in the brain. Steroidal hormone-mediated signalling via the corresponding hormone receptors can influence brain function at the cellular level and thus affect behaviour and higher brain functions. Altered steroid hormone signalling has been associated with psychiatric dis...

background: nano-particles are extensively employed in most industries. several studies have been started to explore the probable detrimental effects of nano-particles on human reproduction. however, there is insufficient and controversially evident of effects of silver nano-particles on sperm parameters and other reproductive indices. objective: investigation of the effects of silver nano-part...

To determine the effects of Ramadan fasting on the secretion of sex hormones in single healthy males, we measured blood hormone levels of testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in 52 single male students aged 18-24 years who were fasting for > or = 12 hours during Ramadan. Four blood samples were taken from each, one 2 days before and the others on 10, 20 ...

Dear Editor, The big public health concern in this year is the nuclear crisis in Japan that causes contamination of nuclides around the world. The effect of the exposure to leaked nuclides from the present nuclear crisis on reproductive health is a topic to be concerned. In my previous publication (1), the evidence on the relationship between nuclear exposure and infertility can be confirmed. H...
