- Effects of Growth Hormone on Glucose Metabolism Mller N. Jrgensen J.O.L. Abildgrd N. rskov L. Schmitz O. Christiansen J.S. I have read the Karger Terms and Conditions and agree. (diabetestalk.net)
- Gonadotropin" acts on the cell layer that surrounds the oocyte (follicular cell layer), producing sex steroid hormone and maturation-inducing hormone, which promotes egg growth and egg maturation, leading to egg laying. (hokudai.ac.jp)
Deficiency1
- A disruption of this process may result in anovulation and ovarian steroid hormone deficiency. (medscape.com)
Pregnancy5
- Induction of final maturation of oocytes is a procedure that is usually performed as part of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation to render the oocytes fully developed and thereby resulting in optimal pregnancy chances. (wikipedia.org)
- Recombinant luteinizing hormone (rLH), recombinant HCG (rHCG) and urine-derived hCG (uHCG) are equally effective in achieving final follicular maturation in IVF with regards to pregnancy rates and risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
- Several studies aimed to characterize potential biomarkers of oocyte competence with pregnancy outcomes. (biomedcentral.com)
- To assess it, we studied whether GH administration can improve the chance of pregnancy and birth in women who experienced repeated implantation failure (RIF) using donated oocyte programs. (medscape.com)
- Beyond medication, stress management, diet, exercise, and sleep can balance hormones and increase chances of pregnancy with PCOS. (levelshealth.com)
Induces1
- It induces a rapid, reversible suppression of gonadotropin secretion. (nih.gov)
Agonists1
- The unit has facilities for in vitro studies (cell and tissue culture), ex vivo studies (e.g. analysis of the response of small blood vessels to hormones and other agonists), and in vivo studies (analysis of animal metabolism and body composition). (migal.org.il)
Dominant follicle1
- In most women, one egg is released from the dominant follicle during each menstrual cycle. (interplexus.com)
Menstrual1
- It is basically a replacement for the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge whose effects include final maturation in natural menstrual cycles. (wikipedia.org)
Undergo1
- The remaining oocytes that were initially recruited with the lead follicle undergo atresia. (medscape.com)
Androgen1
- 3 T is one of the androgen hormones, and many have referred to T as the "fountain of youth. (interplexus.com)
Human3
- The recent original data concerning interrelationships between ghrelin and feeding, action of ghrelin on ovarian functions (proliferation, apoptosis, secretory activity, response to gonadotropins, oocyte maturation) and intracellular mechanisms of its action in different species (rabbit, pig, human, chicken) are reviewed. (endocrine-abstracts.org)
- Genes expressed by human granulosa cells (hGCs), such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-, 12-, and 15-lipoxygenase (LOX), may be useful as effective biomarkers to identify oocytes with high development potential [ 4 , 5 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
- Pro- spermatozoa [13] teins also serve as a source of energy and Because there have been relatively few as reservoirs for the release of hormones, human studies with hyaluronic acid and be- vitamins and minerals [1]. (who.int)
Embryo transfer1
- [ 16 ] In humans, the first study indicating GH beneficial effect on endometrium has been published recently, in which it was shown that simultaneous administration of GH with hormone-replacement therapy could improve clinical outcomes after frozen embryo transfer by increasing endometrial blood perfusion and expression of cytokines related to endometrial receptivity. (medscape.com)
Dose1
Endocrine1
- McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) consists of at least two of the following three features: (1) polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD), (2) café-au-lait skin pigmentation (see the image below), and (3) autonomous endocrine hyperfunction (eg, gonadotropin-independent precocious puberty ). (medscape.com)
Sexual maturation2
- It is believed that the cause is the failure to turn on the switch that produces the necessary hormones at each stage from sexual maturation to spawning. (hokudai.ac.jp)
- If sexual maturation and spawning do not occur, hormones are artificially administered depending on the stage of maturation that is stopped. (hokudai.ac.jp)
Transvaginal2
- The aim of this study was to compare the complication rates of oocyte pick-up (OPU) procedures via transvaginal ultrasonography in patients with different levels of ovarian reserve. (ecerm.org)
- Oocyte pick-up (OPU) via transvaginal ultrasonography is a commonly used oocyte collection method that is less invasive than other methods [ 4 ]. (ecerm.org)
Bloodstream1
- If body fluids have a high osmolality, this signal causes the neurons to release AVP into the bloodstream. (pharmaceuticalintelligence.com)
