Adrenocortical responses before and after bilateral oophorectomy suggest that ovarian factors have a limited role in the etiology of adrenal androgen excess of polycystic ovary syndrome.
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial on the effects of metformin on serum levels of 8-hydroxy-20-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome showed levels were statistically significantly reduced versus placebo.
Young women with polycystic ovary syndrome and subclinical hypothyroidism present higher serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol with no changes in other lipid profile parameters, insulin resistance, or phenotypic manifestations.
In rats with cyclophosphamide-induced asthenozoospermia, CatSper1 and sperm motility were significantly reduced, whereas Sheng-Jing-San treatment restored the cyclophosphamide-induced down-regulation of CatSper1 and improved the sperm motility.
Insulin-dependent vasorelaxation in aortic rings in a PCOS rat model is decreased (both NO-dependent or independent), and vitamin D treatment can improve only the NO-independent model.
Global metabolomic and amino acid profiles of spent culture media samples from embryos derived from either fresh or vitrified oocytes showed no statistically significant differences.
Nucleolar channel systems appear uniformly throughout the upper endometrial cavity, excluding the lower uterine segment, and preferentially in the functional luminal layers of the endometrium, indicating uniform secretory transformation.
Data presented here reveal the importance of evaluating the complete lipid profile, especially at early stages of life after the prenatal hyperandrogenism condition.
In an established model of spontaneous adhesive disease associatedwith experimental human endometriosis in nude mice, development of adhesions was significantly reduced in animals provided with an antiinflammatory diet containing fish oil.
Microarray data revealed altered expression of several novel invasion-associated molecules in leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF)-treated HTR-8/SVneo cells, wherein silencing of pappalysin 1 reduced LIF-mediated invasion.
The study demonstrated that a specific survivin mRNA and protein are expressed in human oocytes and embryos. Embryos secrete survivin into culture media, and survivin concentrations are positively correlated with embryo cleavage rates.
In the same set of endometrial biopsies, the accuracy of the endometrial receptivity array diagnostic tool was superior to dating by endometrial histology, and was reproducible in the same patients 29–40 months later.
Sonographic lower uterine segment evaluation may be a good noninvasive, repeatable, safe technique for defining profile risk of uterine dehiscence or worse in women with previous cesarean section, especially more than 18 months later.
The level of plasma soluble E-cadherin was elevated in patients with pelvic inflammatory disease as compared with that in normal controls and in the same patients after they received treatment.
In a primary ovarian insufficiency group, we identified one mutation and a frequent variant of the NR5A1/SF-1 gene. This work confirms the important role of steroidogenic factor 1 in ovarian function.
Young women undergoing chemotherapy experience acute changes in ovarian reserve that recover in the months after therapy is completed. The rate of recovery of AMH is impacted by pretreatment levels.
In cryopreserved semen from men with newly diagnosed cancer, all specimens show severe decline in postthaw total motile sperm count, with most severe reductions in the myeloid leukemia group.
