OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of transvaginal power Doppler sonography with spectral Doppler analysis as an aid in preoperatively distinguishing primary ovarian carcinoma and metastatic carcinoma to the ovary (Krukenberg tumors). METHODS Fifty women with ovarian disease were preoperatively examined with transvaginal power Doppler sonography. Six basic parame...

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of tonifying Kidney herbs (TKH) in pituitary, ovary, adrenal gland of androgen sterilized rats(ASR). METHODS ASR model was established by injecting testosterone propionate subcutaneously to SD female rats of 9 days age. Morphological and hormonal change of pituitary, ovary and adrenal gland in rats of 100-107 days old before and after feeding TKH extract were o...

Background: Cryopreservation of ovary for preserving germ cell line is going to be an important issue. However, the physical and chemical stresses during cryopreservation are the most important factors that may influence the post freezing tissue viability and quality. Vitrification is a new approach to bypass the impacts of both stresses for gametes and embryos and it is also suggested for ovar...

background: women with polycystic ovary syndrome have lower pregnancy rates, possibly due to the decreased uterine  receptivity.successful implantation depends on protein networks that are essential for cross-talk between the embryo and endometrium.apolipoprotein a1 has been proposed as a putative anti-implantation factor. in this study, we evaluated apolipoprotein a1 expression in human endome...

The aim of the study was to determine, in an experiment performed on conscious gilts, whether an increased amount of progesterone (P4) supplied to the porcine corpus luteum (CL), maintained within a physiological systemic concentration would influence its own secretion. On day 9 of the estrous cycle the jugular veins as well as both ovarian arteries and both ovarian veins were cannulated. In th...

We hypothesized that the ovulatory response of one ovary to FSH would be related positively to the size of the primordial and growing pools of follicles in the other ovary. Nonlactating cows (n = 26) were unilaterally ovariectomized and 2 days later were superovulated. The superovulatory response was classified as Low (< 5 corpora lutea [CL]), Medium (5-14 CL), or High (> 14 CL). Surface follic...
