As I stated above, reading a blood test is one thing, interpreting the results is another. For example, the reader will note my total cholesterol (and triglycerides) were above what is considered normal, presenting a possible increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, I had not ...
A positive result means that your window of fertility is about to open, usually within 24 to 36 hours. Some kits can offer even more specific information about when you'll ovulate. They do this by also testing for estradiol (estrogen.) You'll have very high levels of it on the day ...
They were first discovered in red blood cells where they function to control cell volume through Ca2+ activated K + efflux [25], [26], [27]. K+ activated channels are three types that differ in biophysical properties. One of the three types is the small conductance channels (SKCa) that...
The presence of testes results from the testis-determining factor, Sry, on the Y chromosome that determines the direction the bipotential gonad develops. Circulating testosterone enters the brain and is aromatized to estradiol during this critical organizational window. Estradiol produces hosts of ...
Many biomolecules are sensitive to freeze-thaw cycles. Accordingly, minimizing freeze-thaw cycles can help maintain sample integrity. Certain hormones, such as progesterone and estradiol, are sensitive to freeze-thaw cycles while others – like DNA – are more robust though there is still a decre...
SCs secrete 17ß-estradiol (E2) in immature rats in response to FSH which stimulates the expression ofCyp19a155, the enzyme that converts T to E2. FSH interacts with its receptor and activates the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway leading to the activation of CREB and steroidogenic factor 1, whi...
precise understanding of your health, blood tests, and physical exams are best. Your doctor willtest your fertilitywith a physical exam or check your ovarian reserve. This measures your follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), Antral Follicle Count (AFC), and estradiol ...

• Progesterone/Estradiol Ratio (tested via blood spot) All hormones must maintain a delicate balance and the same can be said for the progesterone and estradiol ratio. When progesterone is low in relation to estrogen, your ratio goes lower and is termed “estrogen dominance” since you have ...
However, there are several gaps in the Th1/Th2 theory.Read more about it in this post. Low Natural Killer Cells Associated Conditions Cancer[7] – mixed findings; more consistent results were seen only in blood cancers [1] Viral infections(low number and activity) [7], since NK cells hel...
