The hormone it mimics is testosterone. Natural steroids are involved in many physiological processes, including stress response, immune reaction, carbohydrate metabolism, and protein catabolism. They also regul

Endometrial biopsy (EB) has been showed to increase the rate of clinical pregnancy in patients who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) failures. The purpose of this work was to assess the impact of an EB performed before the first in IVF on the early pregnancy rate. Be One study is a...
Luteinizing hormone (LH) of pituitary origin plays the major role in ensuring that the CL develops and functions normally, aided by the action of other hormones in many species [2]. Beyond the time of maternal recognition of pregnancy, which occurs around Day 12 after ovulation and prevents ...
Ca: calcium; P: phosphorus; PTH: parathormone; K: potassium; Mg: magnesium; CT scan: computed tomography; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; EEG: electroencephalography; EMG: electromyography. The detection of genetic alterations is nowadays a fast and easily accessible procedure with next-generation...
Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) is a common phenomenon (50-80% of pregnancies with variable severity [1]) and has been related to both psychological and physiological factors, including high levels of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and thyroid hormone levels. In its ex...
The main factors for GDM were the PWG percentage, mother age and VDS during pregnancy. The primary determinants for preterm delivery were the average SBP, VDS and the average DBP during pregnancy. The main factor for PROM was VDS, followed by the average SBP and DBP during pregnancy. B ...
Perhaps surprisingly, it can also be used to prevent obesity in some instances. Researchers have observed that oxytocin and oxytocin receptor-deficient mice become obese later in life — and with normal food intake. Scientists believe that the hormone might be responsible for a series of beneficial...
(3am) is often related to a dysregulated cortisol clock, or, put simply, stress. Cortisol is the primary stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It runs on a 24 hour clock, and should be highest at 8am, and slowly drop during the day and rise at night. With emotional and/or ...
Although it is becoming increasingly evident that maternal starvation during pregnancy can have permanent effects on a range of physiological processes in the offspring, scant information is available about the consequence of such condition for oogenesis
