BACKGROUND Previous research has documented an increased risk of subfertility in areas of sub-Saharan Africa, as well as an ecological association between urogenital schistosomiasis prevalence and decreased fertility. This pilot project examined reproductive patterns and the potential effects of childhood urogenital Schistosoma haematobium infection and individual treatment experience on adult ...

Female rabbits and mice were actively immunized against germ cell antigen (GA-1) of 63 kDa molecular mass isolated from rabbit sperm and testis. There was a significant (P less than 0.05) reduction of fertility in rabbits actively immunized with GA-1 as compared to controls, as seen by the percentage of 9-day implants/corpora lutea ratio (GA-1, 36.3%; controls, 85.7%). In mice, there was again ...

Abstract: Introduction: Embelin, a phytoconstituent obtained from Embelia ribes of the Myrsinaceae family, has anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fertility, analgesic, antidiabetic, anti-depressant and wound healing activities. It is hydrophobic in nature leading to low bioavailability. Aim: The present study aims improve water solubility rate dissolution Embelin by complexati...

Population ageing is a topic of great concern in many countries. To counteract the negative effects ageing, increased fertility or immigration are often proposed as demographic remedies. Changed emigration is, however, rarely mentioned. We explore whether reduced could mitigate country like Norway. Using cohort-component methods, we create hypothetical future scenarios with lower rates, and pre...

Another edition of this book which aims at the conquest of man himself, not merely of his environment, is welcome. Items of particular interest are : (1) Pseudopregnancy in various animals and its exploitation in determining ovulation, etc. A really safe period may be determined for women. (2) Effect of light on the pituitary glands and the chain of events in the gonads. (3) Anti-hormones. It m...

background: fenugreek (trigonella foenum - graecum l.) is an annual medicinal plant belongs to the legume family and has anti-diabetic, anti-fertility, anticancer, anti-microbial, anti-parasitic and hypocholesterolaemic effects. objective: evaluation of growth and trigonelline /mucilage content in fenugreek under application of plant growth regulators (pgr). methods: the experiment was conducte...

Female fertility can be affected by diseases or dysfunctions of reproductive tract, neuroendocrine system, and immune system. Reproductive autoimmune failure can be associated with overall activation of immune system or with immune system reactions specifically directed against ovarian antigens. Majority of the antiovarian autoantibodies are directed against β-subunit of follicle stimulating ho...

Background: The objective of this study is to establish importance of anti-FSH antibodies in IVF outcome. Materials and Methods: This research was designed based on evaluation of several articles from 2000 till 2012 about anti-FSH antibodies in IVF outcome. Results: Serum concentrations of anti-FSH IgG and IgA were linearly associated with poorer ovarian stimulation outcome. For example 1.0 AU ...
