Oestradiol plus progesterone treatment increases serum leptin concentrations in normal women
(2001)
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have alluded to a role for both oestradiol and progesterone in the secretion of leptin from fat cells in the human, although direct evidence has yet to be obtained. The study aim was to assess ...
Mechanisms of follicular development: The role of gonadotrophins
(2008)
INTRODUCTION, Folliculogenesis in women is a dynamic and uninterrupted process from fetal life until menopause. Following pubertal maturation of the reproductive axis, all types of follicles from the primordial to the ...
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. ...
Modulatory effect of the ovary on LH secretion
(2003)
Ovarian steroids are important regulators of gonadotropin secretion during the normal menstrual cycle. Estradiol is the predominant factor in the follicular phase, while progesterone plays an important role in the luteal ...
Rapid effect of progesterone on transepithelial resistance of human fetal membranes: Evidence for non-genomic action
(2008)
1. The factors that regulate human fetal membrane transport mechanisms are unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of progesterone on transepithelial electrical resistance (R-TE) in the human ...
Massive vulvar edema in a woman with preeclampsia: A case report
(2007)
BACKGROUND: Massive vulvar edema in a woman with preeclampsia preceded the development of massive ascites and impending eclampsia. CASE: A 17-year-old preeclamptic, primiparous woman was admitted with preeclampsia and ...
What is the most relevant standard of success in assisted reproduction? Should BESST really be the primary endpoint for assisted reproduction?
(2004)
A major problem in IVF procedures is a high rate of induced iatrogenic complications including multiple gestations. Until now, transfer of at least three embryos followed by the subsequent elective reduction of triplet or ...
Ovulation induction and successful pregnancy outcome in two patients with Prop1 gene mutations
(2004)
Objective: To describe ovulation induction and pregnancy outcome in a unique model of genetically determined combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD), with respect to the necessity for GH substitution therapy. Design: ...
Modulating effect of leptin on basal and follicle stimulating hormone stimulated steroidogenesis in cultured human lutein granulosa cells
(2009)
Background: In vitro data have shown conflicting results in terms of the effect of leptin on granulosa cells steroidogenesis. Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of low and high doses of leptin ...
