Transient sexual precocity and ovarian cysts.
Nine girls presenting under the age of 7 years with unsustained sexual precocity are described. Large ovarian cysts were detected by ultrasound in three and laparotomy in one. In two girls the symptoms resolved after surgical removal of the cyst; the other seven had spontaneous remission of symptoms, but in two of these transient breast development and bleeding recurred: further ovarian cyst fo...
متن کاملFollicular ovarian cysts in stillbirths and neonates.
A review of the histology of 332 ovaries from stillbirths and neonatal deaths within the first 28 days of life showed that follicular cysts, lined by granulosa epithelium and having a diameter greater than 1 mm on a microscopical section, were present in 113 infants. In 48 cases multiple cysts were present, while in 65 only a single cyst satisfying the criteria was found. There was an excess nu...
متن کاملInhibition of gonadotropin sensitive adenylate cyclase by ovarian follicular fluid.
Follicular fluid obtained from medium or large bovine ovarian follicles inhibited ovarian luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotropin sensitive adenylate cyclase in a dose-dependent manner (150'3 mg follicular fluid protein/ml). The inhibitory activity was excluded by Sephadex G-10 and was fully retained following treatment with charcoal. Fluoride-stimulated enzyme activity was not inhibit...
متن کاملLevels of heat shock protein transcripts in normal follicles and ovarian follicular cysts.
In the study, the gene expression of several heat shock proteins (HSPs) was determined in normal follicles and cystic follicles from cattle. A lower expression of HSP10 and HSP40 was observed in granulosa and theca cells of cysts compared to normal follicles. HSP27 was significantly less expressed in granulosa cells in cystic and large antral follicles than in other follicular categories. HSP60...
متن کاملSexual precocity and its treatment.
BACKGROUND Puberty is a complex and dynamic period in development during which individuals transition from the juvenile to adult state. Regulated by multiple genetic and endocrine controls, it is characterized by somatic growth and sexual maturation. Sexual precocity is defined as the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics before the lower limit of the normal age for pubertal onset. D...
