abstract background: “polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is a complex endocrine and metabolic disorder associated with ovulatory dysfunction”. “autonomic and central nervous systems play important roles in the regulation of ovarian physiology”. the noradrenergic nucleus locus coeruleus (lc) plays a central role in the regulation of the sympathetic nervous system and synaptically connected to the ...

the organization of gall on the ovary ofsesamum indicum l induced by the gall midge, asphondylia sesami felt, not only affects biochemical equilibrium of the host but also causes disturbed vegetative growth and reduced seed-setting. the toxicity created by the gall maker induces the re-orientation of vasculature cecidogenetic stimuli lead to excessive hypertrophy and hyperplasy forming the gall...

CONTEXT Increased Anti-Mullerian Hormone in polycystic ovary syndrome, may be due to overactive follicles rather than reflect antral follicle count. OBJECTIVE Does Anti-Mullerian Hormone reflect antral follicle count similarly in women with or without polycystic ovary syndrome or polycystic ovarian morphology? DESIGN Cross-sectional, case-control. SETTING Women who delivered preterm in 19...

BACKGROUND Follicle numbers and developing ovarian morphology, particularly with reference to the presence of interstitial tissue, are intimately linked within the ovary of the African elephant during the period spanning mid-gestation to puberty. These have not been previously quantified in any studies. The collection of 7 sets of elephant fetal ovaries between 11.2 and 20.2 months of gestation...

BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on the morphology of estradiol valerate (EV) induced polycystic ovary (PCO) to find a new treatment modality for improvement of PCO. METHODS The rats were divided into four groups. Group1, control; group 2, PCO group; group 3, PCO with HBOT group and group 4, normal ovary with HBOT. PCO was induced by a s...

The mechanism by which pertussis toxin induces morphological changes in Chinese hamster ovary cells was studied to determine whether the resulting clustered growth pattern is due to toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of a cellular substrate. While pertussis toxin was extremely potent in inducing morphological changes in Chinese hamster ovary cells, preparations of isolated A subunit or B oligomer...

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of polycystic ovary morphology (PCO) among Nigerian women attending for pelvic ultrasound. This was a retrospective study of the ultrasound scan findings of all women who attended for pelvic ultrasound scan at a new teaching hospital in southern Nigeria from the commencement of ultrasound services on 1 March to 31 July 2010. The main indicat...

background: the purpose of the study was to examine whether patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (sch) should be excluded before making a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos). methods: seven hundred sixteen patients, 462 with true pcos, 31 with pcos-sch, and 223 normal cycling women were enrolled. clinical, metabolic, and hormonal parameters among the groups were investigated. cont...
