Effect of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist treatment on growth hormone secretion in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
(1998)
The suppression of the pituitary-gonadal axis by the administration of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) is used occasionally as an adjunct therapy with gonadotrophins for ovulation induction in women with ...
Growth hormone response to thyrotrophin releasing hormone in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
(1999)
Recent clinical studies have suggested that women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) may have disturbances of growth hormone (GH) kinetics and the GH/insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I system. The knowledge that in ...
The role of MRI in young adolescent girls with hematocolpos
(2011)
Imperforate hymen is a relatively rare congenital anomaly which may lead to the development of hematocolpos during puberty. Clinical examination reveals imperforate hymen but abdominal ultrasound and tumor markers findings ...
Absence of leptin expression and secretion by human luteinized granulosa cells
(2003)
Whether leptin is secreted by the human ovary is not known. The available data on leptin gene (ob gene) expression by human granulosa cells are conflicting. The aim of the present study was first to re-examine the expression ...
Retinoid receptor alpha and beta expression in serous ovarian tumors
(2007)
The expression of retinoid acid receptors alpha (RAR alpha) and beta (RAR beta) and estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) was assessed by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting in normal ovaries, serous cystadenoma (n = ...
Leptin in pregnancy
(2002)
Leptin is a 16-kDa polypeptide, encoded in humans by the LEP gene. This protein is probably involved in the regulation of ovarian function, oocyte maturation and embryo development, and in the implantation process. During ...
In vitro effects of endothelin-1 on the contractility of myometrium obtained from pre- and postmenopausal women
(2001)
This study was conducted to evaluate the responsiveness of human nonpregnant myometrium to endothelin 1 (ET1) (10(-10) M-10(-6) M) and KCl (80 mM) in relation to the hormonal profile of the women, who were allocated into ...
