Liver transplantation restores female reproductive endocrine function.
Seventeen female patients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation between June 1973 and June 1987 became pregnant 5 months to 11 years after transplantation. Immunosuppression was maintained with combinations of prednisone, cycloeporine, and azathioprine prior to and during pregnancy. One patient discontinued immunosuppression after knowledge of pregnancy, taking only azathioprine sporad...
متن کاملEndocrine disrupters and female reproductive health.
There is growing evidence of the impact of estrogenic contaminants in the environment. Studies have shown that male fish in detergent-contaminated water express female characteristics, turtles are sex-reversed by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), male frogs exposed to a common herbicide form multiple ovaries, pseudohermaphroditic offspring are produced by polar bears, and seals in contaminated ...
متن کاملThe endocrine and reproductive function of the female Yucheng adolescents prenatally exposed to PCBs/PCDFs.
BACKGROUND Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and related compounds such as polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins (PCDDs) alter sexual maturation and endocrine function in animals. In 1978-1979, a mass poisoning occurred in central Taiwan from cooking oil contaminated by heat-degraded PCBs and oxidated compounds PCDFs. We tested the hypothesis that in utero exp...
متن کاملLong-term levetiracetam treatment affects reproductive endocrine function in female Wistar rats
PURPOSE Several antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) induce changes in endocrine function in women with epilepsy. Levetiracetam (LEV) is one of the newer AEDs, and to date no endocrine side-effects have been reported in humans. However, a recent study on ovarian follicular cells from prepubertal pigs showed that LEV affected basal steroid hormone secretion. The aim of the present study was to investigate...
متن کاملThe impact of endocrine disrupters on the female reproductive system.
Over the last decades, many tonnes of man-made chemicals have been produced and released into the environment. Many of these chemical substances have the ability to modulate the action of hormones and are called endocrine disrupters. Cell receptors that have been pure receptors for thousands of years have (due to industrialization), become susceptible to the action of exogenous chemicals. The b...
