introduction: the mouse embryos can successfully be vitrified using ethylene glycol as cryoprotectant, however their development differs significantly from the non-vitrified embryos. the ability of their development can be improved when they co-culture with somatic cells. in the present study, the effects of co-culturing with vero cells on the development of vitrified two cell mouse embryos wer...

Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AASs) are used as performance enhancement and widely utilized among athletes non-athletes worldwide. Although the risk-benefit ratio of using Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) explicitly primarily published systematic reviews post-mortem case reports, there limited reports on effects PEDs body mass index, blood pressure, sugar levels.

This study reports that common carp (Cyprinus carpio) embryos were successfully frozen and preserved by vitrification. The modified Haga solution was tested by using two different cryoprotectants and three different concentrations at 4°C to obtain appropriate vitrified solutions ((dimethylsulfoxide 5, 10, 15% (DMSO) and glycerol 5, 10, 15% (gly)) in the study.  The hatching rates of embryos exp...

Therapy based on androgenic deprivation is one of the standard treatments that many prostate cancer patients receive. Moreover, its use is increasing owing to a clear expansion of the indications for this therapy in patients with localized prostate cancer. Despite classically being considered to be well tolerated, androgenic deprivation has adverse effects. Of these, the loss of mineral bone ma...

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the most sensitive marker available for monitoring the progression of prostate cancer and response to therapy. In a previous study, we demonstrated tissue-specific expression of PSA glycoprotein and mRNA and its regulation through the androgen receptor. In this study, we examine the effects of protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC) on the androgen r...
