Leukaemia inhibitory factor expression in human follicular fluid and ovarian cells.
Leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a 43 kDa glycoprotein with a remarkable range of biological actions in different tissue systems. LIF improves the rate of fertilization of mouse oocytes in vitro and up-regulates aromatase enzyme. We postulated that LIF may be an important modulator of ovarian function and may also improve embryo quality in humans. Follicular fluid samples from patients unde...
متن کاملLeukaemia inhibitory factor expression in human follicular fluid.
Leukaemia inhibitory factor expression in human follicular fluid Dear Sir, We were interested to read the paper by Arici et al. (1997) who found leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) expression in human follicular fluid (hFF). We would like to confirm this fact and make some short comments. Since we have postulated that LIF could play a role in the inflammatory-like processes involved in the periov...
متن کاملFollicular fluid concentration of leukaemia inhibitory factor is decreased among women with polycystic ovarian syndrome during assisted reproduction cycles.
BACKGROUND The possibility that a specific cytokine profile could be detected in the ovaries of patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) was investigated. METHOD Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or bioassays were used to assess the concentrations of leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), tumour necrosis factor, interleukin 11, gamma interferon, progesterone and oestradiol in foll...
متن کاملEffect of Follicular Fluid and Platelet-Activating Factor on Lactate Dehydrogenase C Expression in Human Asthenozoospermic Samples
Background: Application of follicular fluid (FF) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in artificial insemination improves sperm motility. Lactate dehydrogenase C (LDH-C) is a key enzyme for sperm motility. In this study, the effects of FF and PAF on the sperm motility index and LDH-C expression were investigated. Moreover, LDH-C expression was compared between asthenozoospermic and normozoosper...
متن کاملDIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN OVARIAN FOLLICULAR GRANULOSA CELLS INTO KERATINOCYTES
Background & Aims: Stem cells are undifferentiated cells and are found in different tissues. These cells have capacity of self-renewal and differentiation into other lineages. Granulosa cells (GCs) are the multipotent stem cells. In the present research we evaluated the differentiation potential of GCs into keratinocytes. Material & Methods: GCs were cultured after enzymatic isolation from ova...
