Combined administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, progesterone, and meloxicam is an effective treatment for the repeat-breeder cow
(2009)In practice, the etiologic treatment of the repeat-breeder cow is nearly infeasible. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a combined treatment would benefit the conception rate of repeat-breeder cows. The components ... -
The effect of estrogens on plasma ghrelin concentrations in women
(2010)Background: Data regarding the possible effects of estrogen on ghrelin secretion in humans are limited and contradictory. Aim: To investigate the effect of estradiol (E2) on ghrelin levels in normal pre- and post-menopausal ... -
Endothelin-3 and PRL levels in the maternal and fetal circulation at delivery
(2007)Objective: The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to test the hypothesis that endothelin-3 (ET-3) is involved in PRL secretion via systemic hormonal interaction during labor. Materials and methods: Fifty healthy ... -
Follicular Fluid Oocyte/Cumulus-Free DNA Concentrations as a Potential Biomolecular Marker of Embryo Quality and IVF Outcome
(2014)The present prospective study examined the follicular fluid oocyte/cumulus-free DNA concentrations (ff o/c-free DNA) during ovarian stimulation and the possible association between ff o/c-free DNA and embryological results ... -
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) expression in placentae of women with iron deficiency anemia and beta-thalassemia trait
(2015)Objective: To investigate hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) expression in placentae of women with iron-deficiency anemia and beta-thalassemia trait and to correlate the results with hematological parameters ... -
Impact of Maternal Diabetes on Epigenetic Modifications Leading to Diseases in the Offspring
(2012)Gestational diabetes, occurring during the hyperglycemic period of pregnancy in maternal life, is a pathologic state that increases the incidence of complications in both mother and fetus. Offspring thus exposed to an ... -
Initiation of GnRH antagonist on Day 1 of stimulation as compared to the long agonist protocol in PCOS patients. A randomized controlled trial: effect on hormonal levels and follicular development
(2007)BACKGROUND: The optimal time for GnRH antagonist initiation is still debatable. The purpose of the current randomized controlled trial is to provide endocrine and follicular data during ovarian stimulation for IVF in ... -
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 ... -
Melatonin secretion is impaired in women with preeclampsia and an abnormal circadian blood pressure rhythm
(2014)Non-dipping circadian blood pressure (BP) is a common finding in preeclampsia, accompanied by adverse outcomes. Melatonin plays pivotal role in biological circadian rhythms. This study investigated the relationship between ... -
Nocturnal hypertension is associated with an exacerbation of the endothelial damage in preeclampsia
(2008)Background: Non-dipping pattern of circadian blood pressure in preeclampsia is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The pathogenetic mechanisms of this relationship are still unclear. We investigated ... -
Polymorphisms of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene in preeclampsia: a candidate-gene association study
(2011)Background: The endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3) has been proposed as a candidate gene for preeclampsia. However, studies so far have produced conflicting results. This study examines the specific role of ... -
Prognostic value of follicular fluid 25-OH vitamin D and glucose levels in the IVF outcome
(2010)Objectives: The aim of the present study was to measure serum and follicular fluid 25-OH vitamin D and glucose levels in women who underwent IVF-ET treatment and to further investigate whether the circulating 25-OH vitamin ... -
Reflections on the causes and the diagnosis of peri-parturient losses of ewes
(2008)Peri-parturient loss of a ewe is of particular financial significance to a farmer. Therefore, veterinary advise before lambing is crucial, in order to avoid such losses altogether. This paper can be used as a brief guide ... -
Serum and follicular fluid leptin levels are correlated with human embryo quality
(2005)This prospective study was undertaken to reassess the prognostic value of leptin during critical stages of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and address its role in the functional staging of assisted reproductive ... -
Vaginal progesterone gel for luteal phase support in IVF/ICSI cycles: a meta-analysis
(2010)Objective: To investigate whether vaginal progesterone gel may result in similar or higher pregnancy rates compared with all other vaginal progesterone forms when used for luteal-phase support. Design: Meta-analysis of ...
