When data from controls and patients were pooled, redundant midluteal VEGF level correlated with progesterone and with peak follicular phase estrogen level. The midluteal VEGF level in the IVF cycles was associated with body mass index ( P <0.01) and progesterone level ( P <0.05) by multiple...
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) stimulates estrogen production, which, in turn, jolts follicular growth. The follicle is the sac in which the egg matures until it is released into the fallopian tube during ovulation. During a woman’s reproductive years, as long as the ovaries function normall...
The number of oocytes retrieved was decreased,the proportion of cycles which retrieved 15 oocytes was also lower. However,the average estrogen level per egg was significant increased,and a better clinical outcome of IVF-ET was received. 展开 年份: 2018 ...
At the beginning of an IVF or egg freezing cycle, levels of estradiol (an estrogen hormone) are quite low; these levels rise rapidly in response to ovarian stimulation medication, as multiple ovarian follicles grow. The increase in E2 levels is an indirect measure of how responsive th...
Because JGCTs are hormonally active, patients can be diagnosed with precocious pseudopuberty owing to increased estrogen secretion. Indeed, there are no other curative treatment forms other than surgery9,12,13. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are the members of a well-studied family of ...
Other protein systems are involved: activin orchestrates FSH/LH receptor levels, estrogen synthesis, and oocyte maturation; follistatin inhibits activin-induced responses – the discussion of the finer points of their actions falls out with the scope of this more generic chapter and the reader is ...
The human endometrium contains a substantial population of leucocytes which vary in distribution during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. An unusual population of natural killer (NK) cells, termed uterine NK (uNK) cells, are the most abundant of these cells in early pregnancy. The increase in nu...
(estrogen receptorESR1, NK cell-activating receptorNCR2, extracellular matrix receptorCD44), several regulators of the Rho family of GTPases [E-cadherin (CDH1), integrin alpha-2 (ITGA2), myosin (MYL9, MYLK), the ras GTPase-activating-like proteinIQGAP2, the insulin-like growth factor 1...
In an animal study, estrogen appears to explain sex-related differences by attenuating the gastroesophageal reflux disease-related esophageal tissue damage [11]. In particular, several cross-sectional studies in Asians have reported that larger waist circumference was associated with increased presence of...
In most women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) for medically assisted reproduction (MAR), endogenous LH sustains follicle recruitment, but women above 35 years exhibit decreased LH activity, reflecting into lower androgen and estrogen follicular fluid levels [14]. In this scenario, human...
