Radioimmunoassay of progesterone in saliva: application to the assessment of ovarian function.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a specific radioimmunoassay that has the required sensitivity (7 pg per assay tube) for determining progesterone concentrations in 400 microL of mixed saliva collected from normal women. The assay is precise: intra and inter-assay variation (CV) never exceeded 11.0 and 8.0%, respectively. The assay was used to determine progesterone in saliva samples collected daily for not less than 28 days by normal women and by patients having abnormal ovarian function. Four normal women provided matched saliva and plasma samples for accurate dating of the menstrual cycle by plasma progesterone, estradiol, lutropin, and follitropin. Nine further subjects collected saliva samples only, and from these data a provisional "normal range" was established. Progesterone concentrations in saliva during the follicular phase of the cycle were low (less than 100 pmol/L) but rose beginning on day 12 to reach peak values of 230-550 pmol/L on day 21. Thereafter, progesterone concentrations in saliva declined to values generally less than 170 pmol/L at the commencement of menses. Saliva samples from three patients attending an infertility clinic were also studied to assess ovarian function.

Isolation of common carp ovarian follicular cells and evaluation of their endocrine activity in primary cell culture
To study viability and activity of isolated common carp, Cyprinus carpio, ovarian follicular cells (granulosa and theca cells), 17- α -Hydroxy progesterone (17 α -OHP) and 17 β -Estradiol (E2) levels were estimated in the culture media of cultivated carp ovarian follicular cells, using radioimmunoassay (RIA). Oocytes were isolated from the ovaries of female carp. Interstitial tissue was manua...

Background: Our aim was to evaluate the recovery rate of ovarian function and the activity of hypothalamus-hypophiseal- gonadal axis following transplantation of vitrified ovaries. Materials and Methods: Five weeks-old female Wistar Rats were distributed randomly in two experimental groups; Fresh Transplanted, Vitrified-Transplanted and 8 weeks-old female Wistar rats were considered as control ...
متن کاملP-163: Effects of Bilateral Tubal Ligation on Serum Oxidative Stress and Ovarian Function in Female Rats
Background: Tubal ligation is one of the most common contraceptive methods in the world. Some researchers believe that tubal ligation has complications. It is assumed oxidative stress can produce these complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate oxidative stress and ovarian function after tubal ligation. Materials and Methods: In this study, female rats (weighting 200-250 g) were divid...
