The recombinant subdomain IIIB of human serum albumin displays activity of gonadotrophin surge-attenuating factor
(2004)
BACKGROUND: Gonadotrophin surge-attenuating factor (GnSAF) is an as yet unidentified ovarian factor that acts on the pituitary to attenuate the pre-ovulatory LH surge. In a previous study, GnSAF bioactivity was proposed ...
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: ...
Relation between leptin and cortisol values in umbilical vessels at normal vaginal delivery
(2004)
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 ...
Effects of clomiphene and raloxifene on gonadotrophin secretion in postmenopausal women: evidence of nongenomic action
(2004)
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of raloxifene (R) and clomiphene (Cl) on FSH and LH secretion in postmenopausal women. DESIGN Postmenopausal volunteer women participated in two experimental (Exp) procedures. In Group 1, ...
Changes in pituitary sensitivity to GnRH in estrogen-treated post-menopausal women: evidence that gonadotrophin surge attenuating factor plays a physiological role
(2004)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in pituitary response to GnRH in post-menopausal women during substitution treatment with exogenous estrogen and progesterone. METHODS: Seven healthy ...
FSH and LH responses to GnRH after ovariectomy in postmenopausal women
(2004)
OBJECTIVE Whether the postmenopausal ovary is still playing a role in the control of gonadotrophin secretion in response to GnRH has not been investigated. The aim of the present study was to test this hypothesis by examining ...
