Treatment of normal women with oestradiol plus progesterone prevents the decrease of leptin concentrations induced by ovariectomy
(2000)
To study the role of oestradiol and progesterone in the secretion of leptin, 21 normally ovulating women were recruited from those scheduled for ovariectomy plus hysterectomy performed in mid-follicular phase of the cycle. ...
Changes in gonadotrophin response to gonadotrophin releasing hormone in normal women following bilateral ovariectomy
(1997)
OBJECTIVE Pituitary responsiveness to GnRH varies throughout the normal menstrual cycle, We have investigated whether there are differences in the ovarian mechanisms which regulate gonadotrophin secretion between the ...
Leptin concentrations in the follicular phase of spontaneous cycles and cycles superovulated with follicle stimulating hormone
(1998)
It has been reported that oestradiol may play a role in the production of leptin from adipocytes, To investigate this relationship further, nine normally ovulating women were studied during two menstrual cycles, i.e. an ...
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 ...
Changes in pituitary response to gonadotropin releasing hormone following bilateral ovariectomy in women treated with follicle-stimulating hormone
(1996)
Superovulation induction in women attenuates the pituitary response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). The aim of this study was to assess the duration of the suppressing activity of the ovaries on the pituitary. ...
Evidence of differential control of FSH and LH responses to GnRH by ovarian steroids in the luteal phase of the cycle
(2002)
BACKGROUND: It is known that during the follicular phase of the cycle, estradiol sensitizes the pituitary to GnRH. The aim of this study was to determine the role of ovarian steroids in the control of GnRH-induced gonadotrophin ...
