Breast cancer chemotherapy commonly causes premature ovarian failure and infertility. Because increased estrogen levels are thought to be potentially risky in breast patients, natural cycle IVF (NCIVF) has been used preserve fertility treat infertility these women.Twelve women with received 40-60 mg tamoxifen for 6.9 +/- 0.6 days beginning on 2-3 of their menstrual (15 cycles), had (TamIVF) either fresh embryo transfer (six cycles) or cryopreservation (nine cycles). They were compared a...
To assess whether coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccination is associated with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation or early pregnancy outcomes.This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent single euploid frozen-thawed embryo transfer at a academic center. Patients fully vaccinated COVID-19 vaccine were compared unvaccinated cycled during the same time period. The primary outcome was fertilization rate for and clinical transfer. Secondary outcomes eggs retrieved,...
Do the adipocytokines, leptin and adiponectin affect granulosa cell expression of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) its receptor (AMHR-II)? Leptin suppresses AMH mRNA levels in human luteinized cells through JAK2/STAT3 pathway, while has no such effect. is one most reliable markers ovarian reserve. Serum decline with obesity. Obesity associated elevated reduced levels. This prospective study included 60 infertile women undergoing fresh IVF ICSI cycles utilizing autologous oocytes at Montefiore's...
We explored the relevance of blood type to ovarian reserve, as reflected by early follicular phase FSH levels.For this cross-sectional observational study, serum levels (mIU/ml) and estradiol (E2, pg/ml), information on (A, B, AB O) patient age were procured for female patients, ≤ 45 years (n= 544), who undergoing fertility evaluation at one two tertiary care facilities. Serum > 10 mIU/ml was taken reflect diminished reserve (DOR). Data distribution analyzed non-parametric tests used...
Does vitamin D attenuate the adverse effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on steroidogenesis by human granulosa cells (GCs)?
AbstractMitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are components of signaling cascades regulated by environmental stimuli. In addition to participating in the stress response, MAPKs c-Jun N-terminal Kinases JNK1 and JNK2 regulate proliferation normal neoplastic cells. JNKs contribute these processes largely phosphorylating thus contributing activation AP-1 complex. We here report that control entry into mitosis. have observed JNK activity phosphorylation become elevated during G2/M...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may cause neuropsychiatric problems, such as anxiety disorder, that have negative effects on cognitive functions and behavior. We investigated the of progesterone traumatic induced in 7-day-old rat pups subjected to contusion injury. Progesterone treatment decreased TBI serum corticosterone levels, increased IGF-1 levels. Moreover, amygdala, prefrontal cortex hippocampal neuron density. found a correlation between levels tests, positive tests. In addition,...
