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): ... -
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 ... -
Effects of metformin on fertilisation of bovine oocytes and early embryo development: possible involvement of AMPK3-mediated TSC2 activation
(2015)Studies on bovine oocytes have revealed that the activation of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK) by millimolar concentrations of metformin controls nuclear maturation. Tuberous sclerosis complex 2 ... -
The Emerging Roles of Adiponectin in Female Reproductive System-Associated Disorders and Pregnancy
(2013)Adiponectin, the most abundant adipose-released cytokine, has an important role in metabolism, primarily through reducing insulin resistance. Reproductive functions are known to be influenced by energy balance and adiponectin ... -
Ghrelin: New Insights into Female Reproductive System-Associated Disorders and Pregnancy
(2012)Ghrelin is considered the endogenous ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a, and its modulatory actions have been demonstrated in a large array of endocrine and nonendocrine functions. According to recent ... -
Leptin in human reproduction
(1999)The recent discovery of the obese (ob) gene has provided new insight into the mechanism which controls body fat mass. Leptin, a product of the ob gene, serves as the link between fat and the brain. This protein, by acting ... -
Metformin reduces the expression of corticotropin-releasing hormone and urocortin in the endometrium of healthy women
(2013)Objective: To investigate the effect of metformin administration on the expression of endometrial corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) and urocortin (UCN) in the midluteal phase of the cycle. Design: Experimental study, ... -
Ovulation induction: a mini review
(2005)Ovulation induction is the method for treating anovulatory infertility. For patients with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism,the treatment involves administration of both FSH and LH, while HCG is injected for follicle rupture. ...
