To study the role of various hormones in the control of fetal leptin secretion during labour, 33 pregnant women with normal singleton term pregnancy were recruited. At the time of spontaneous vaginal delivery, a venous ...
Growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor I, and leptin interaction in human cultured lutein granulosa cells steroidogenesis
(2008)
Objective: To investigate the effect of leptin on the actions of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in ovarian steroidogenesis in vitro. Design: In vitro cell culture study. Setting: Research ...
Soluble fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and Serum Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) as Biomarkers for Ectopic Pregnancy and Missed Abortion
(2011)
Context: Diagnosis of early pregnancy failure is hampered by the lack of reliable serological markers. Objective: We assessed whether a single serum measurement of placental growth factor (PlGF) and the soluble Flt-1 ...
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 ...
Leptin concentrations in normal women following bilateral ovariectomy
(1999)
To study the relationships between gonadal steroids and leptin, 20 women with normal cycles were investigated during the postoperative period following a laparotomy. Fourteen women underwent bilateral ovariectomy plus total ...
Isolated fallopian tube torsion: A rare diagnosis in a perimenopausal patient with adnexal mass and raised Ca 19-9: Endoscopic management and review
(2005)
