BACKGROUND The protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine/threonine kinases that consists of 12 different isoforms. Since PKC isoform expressions are known to be specific for different cell types and postnatal developmental stages, we aimed to determine immunolocalizations and protein expression levels of different PKC isoforms in pre-pubertal, pubertal and adult mouse ovaries. METHODS Ovar...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the reproductive status of female dromedary camels (pregnant vs. non-pregnant) on the chemical composition, hormonal profile and antioxidant capacity of follicular fluid collected from different sized ovarian follicles during the breeding season. One hundred ovaries were collected at slaughterhouse from fifty female dromedary camels. The ovar...

One hundred and twenty five patients with polycystic ovaries on ultrasonography and 17 controls with normal ovaries on ultrasound and regular ovulary cycles underwent clinical and endocrine evaluation. Of 125 ultrasound-diagnosed polycystic ovary patients (PCO) 49.6% complained about hirsutism, 55.2% had menstrual disturbances (46.4% oligomenorrhea, 8.8% amenorrhea), 23.2% had normal but irregu...

HE transplantation of ovaries in Drosophila was realized for the first T time by EPHRUSSI and BEADLE (1935b), using the technique which they had devised and applied with such success to the transplantation of the eye discs and other anlagen. Their results showed that the ovaries of D. melamguster can be successfully implanted into male and female larvae of the same species, can become attached ...
