Attenuation of the oestrogen positive feedback mechanism with the age in postmenopausal women
(2015)ObjectiveIt has been reported that the positive feedback mechanism of oestrogens and progesterone is preserved, although attenuated, in late postmenopausal years. Whether this is also true for the positive feedback effect ... -
Blockage of ghrelin-induced prolactin secretion in women by bromocriptine
(2010)Objective: To investigate the effect of bromocriptine on ghrelin-induced PRL secretion in women. Design: Longitudinal study. Setting: University hospital. Patient(s): Ten healthy, normally cycling women. Intervention(s): ... -
The BMI of men and not sperm parameters impact on embryo quality and the IVF outcome
(2013)It has been reported that increased body mass index (BMI) of men influences fecundity but it is not clear if it impacts on sperm parameters. Whether or not BMI of men influence sperm parameters and subsequently in vitro ... -
A Case Report of Osteomyelitis Pubis in a Hemodialysis Patient With Diabetes Mellitus
(2008)Osteomyelitis pubis is a rare form of osteomyelitis. Known risk factors are urogynecologic surgery, trauma caused by sport activities, pelvic malignancy and intravenous drug use. Immunocompromised patients, including ... -
Does hepcidin affect erythropoiesis in hemodialysis patients?
(2006)Introduction: Prohepcidin is the precursor of hepcidin, a liver-derived peptide involved in iron metabolism by blocking its intestinal absorption and its release by the reticuloendothelial system. Iron overload and ... -
Effect of Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15) on steroidogenesis in primary-cultured human luteinizing granulosa cells through Smad5 signalling
(2015)To determine if there is any effect of AMH and BMP-15 on estradiol and progesterone production from primary-cultured human luteinizing granulosa cells, to delineate what is the effect of FSH on their actions and which are ... -
Effect of ghrelin and metoclopramide on prolactin secretion in normal women
(2011)Background: Administration of ghrelin to women stimulates the secretion of PRL but the mechanism is not known. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the dopamine receptor blocker, metoclopramide, on ... -
Effect of Ghrelin and Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone on Prolactin Secretion in Normal Women
(2010)It is known that ghrelin stimulates the secretion of prolactin in women. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of exogenous thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) on ghrelin-induced prolactin release. Ten healthy ... -
Effect of the Position of the Polar Body During ICSI on Fertilization Rate and Embryo Development
(2010)This prospective study was designed to evaluate and clarify further whether the position of the polar body (PB) in relation to injection site during intracytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI) has an impact on fertilization ... -
Estradiol and leptin as conditional prognostic IVF markers
(2005)We studied the concentration of serum estradiol and serum and follicular fluid leptin in 200 women undergoing their first in vitro fertilization with embryo transfer (IVF-ET) program at the time of human chorionic gonadotrophin ... -
Expression of transforming growth factor-beta receptor 11 mRNA in cyclosporine-induced gingival overgrowth
(2006)Gingival overgrowth (GO), characterized by increased cellular and extracellular matrix components in gingival tissue, is a frequent side effect of cyclosporine (CsA). In previous studies, elevated levels of transforming ... -
Follicular Fluid Oocyte/Cumulus-Free DNA Concentrations as a Potential Biomolecular Marker of Embryo Quality and IVF Outcome
(2014)The present prospective study examined the follicular fluid oocyte/cumulus-free DNA concentrations (ff o/c-free DNA) during ovarian stimulation and the possible association between ff o/c-free DNA and embryological results ... -
Genes and Conditions Controlling Mammalian Pre- and Post-implantation Embryo Development
(2015)Embryo quality during the in vitro developmental period is of great clinical importance. Experimental genetic studies during this period have demonstrated the association between specific gene expression profiles and the ... -
Growth hormone response to submaximal doses of ghrelin remains unchanged during the follicular phase of the cycle
(2013)Background: Previous data have shown that ghrelin-induced growth hormone (GH) secretion is augmented in women by exogenous but not by endogenous estrogens. The purpose of this study was to examine the response of GH to ... -
The impact of cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption on sperm parameters and sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) measured by Halosperm(A (R))
(2014)Both cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption are somehow implicated in sperm function, but the impact of these two lifestyle factors on sperm parameters remains controversial. The present study is focused on the impact ... -
Inhibin secretion in women with the polycystic ovary syndrome before and after treatment with progesterone
(2011)Objectives: It has been suggested that inhibin secretion is altered in women with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the contribution of a preceding luteal phase has not been taken into account. The aim of the ... -
Inhibitory Effect of Submaximal Doses of Ghrelin on Gonadotropin Secretion in Women
(2014)The effect of ghrelin on gonadotropin secretion has been equivocal. Recent data have shown an inhibitory effect of repeated injections of ghrelin on nocturnal LH and FSH secretion in women. The aim of this study was to ...
