[ 1 ] - I-36: The Role of LH in Controlled Ovarian Stimulation

It is known that the follicular selection and final stages of follicular maturation are equal if not more dependent on low circulating levels of LH.In addition to stimulating production of thecal androgens as substrate for estrogen synthesis, LH stimulates granulose cell via LH receptors induced by FSH and estrogen in larger but not smaller follicles. The data from numerous assisted reproductio...

[ 3 ] - P-112: Vitamin D and Fertility

Background: Vitamin D has been well-known for its function in maintaining calcium and phosphorus homeostasis and promoting bone mineralization. There is some evidence that in addition to sex steroid hormones, the classic regulators of human reproduction, vitamin D also modulates reproductive processes in women and men. Materials and Methods: This is a review article that were identifical by com...

[ 4 ] - P-153: Role of Chemokines in The Pathogenesis of Infertility Related to Enometriosis

Background: Chemokines, proteins that operate within the body's immune system, play numerous roles in menstruation, bacterial infection, implantation of embryos, and the maintenance of early pregnancy. They are also strongly related to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Materials and Methods: This is review article that were indentifical by computer search of MEDLINE (1984- 2013). Results:...

[ 5 ] - P-169: Melatonin and Fertility

Background: Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. It helps regulate other hormones and maintains the body’s daily rhythm, telling us when to fall asleep and when to wake up. Ever since we developed electricity and the lightbulb, we have been decreasing our body’s secretions of melatonin by being exposed to bright light after it is dark. Jet lag, shift work and poor v...

[ 6 ] - P-57: The Beneficial Adipokines in Reproductionand Infertility

Background: Adipokins are cytokines predominantely or exclusively expressed by adipose tissue that circulate and affect target tissues. Four known adipokines, adiponectin, visfatin/PBEF, omentin and vaspin, all increase tissue sensitivity to insulin, and are thus described as ’beneficial’. In this review such biological actions and potential roles of the adipokines leptin, adiponectin and resis...
