combination therapy with clomiphene citrate plus gonadotropin (clomiphene citrate plus hmg) in induction ovulation reduce the gonadotropins dose but antiestrogenic effect of c.c. can decrease pregnancy rate. in a randomized clinical trial we compared 3 treatment protocol for induction ovulation and intra uterine insemination (i/o plus iui) in women with infertility history more than one year, n...

Procedures have been developed to produce consistent increases in ovulation rate in Merino ewes by immunization against the steroids, androstenedione, testosterone and oestrone. The procedures were based on experiments in the field over the period 1978-1981 using groups of 50 ewes for each treatment. The method uses selected steroid-human serum albumin conjugates, together with DEAEdextran adju...

background: there are still many questions about the ideal protocol for letrozole (ltz) as the commonest aromatase inhibitor (ai) used in ovulation induction. the aim of this study is to compare the ultrasonographic and hormonal characteristics of two different initiation times of ltz in clomiphene citrate (cc) failure patients and to study androgen dynamics during the cycle. materials and meth...

Artificial fertilization of cultured fish is essential for seed production using breeding techniques. However, in tuna species, the success rate artificial tremendously low. In this study, it was reported that adequate procedure ovulated egg collection and storage kawakawa Euthynnus affinis. The eggs attempted new techniques disrupt only spawning activity without discontinuing ovulation. availa...

BACKGROUND A common cause of anovulation is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Clomiphene citrate (CC) is the first line of treatment in PCOS patients however approximately 25% of patients may be CC-resistant. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of adding dexamethasone (dex) to CC in CC-resistant PCOS patients with the intent to improve ovulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized ...

We evaluated the effects of a PGF2alpha analogue on time of ovulation and reproductive performance in multiparous Camborough sows (n=47). At onset of first post-weaning estrus, sows received either an intravulval injection of 3.75 mg of prostaglandin analogue (PGF) or, served as a non-injected control (CON). Beginning 24 h after the onset of estrus, transcutaneous ultrasonography was carried ou...

A synthetic fragment representing the N-terminal 25 amino acid residues of the alpha-subunit of ovine inhibin (alpha-IF) was coupled to human alpha-globulin (h alpha-G) and used as an antigen. In Exp. 1, ovine antiserum generated against alpha-IF-h alpha-G was shown in vitro to neutralize inhibin bioactivity contained in ovine follicular fluid. In Exp. 2, 18 lambs were immunized with .3, .6 and...

conclusions this study revealed that lod in females with pcos with a serum e2 > 40 pg/ml was sufficient and safe to trigger development of ovarian follicles followed by clinical pregnancy. results there was significant difference in the average starting time of ovulation and continuing spontaneous ovulation of cases with pcos with e2 levels > 40 pg/ml, compared with ones with e2 ≤ 40 pg/ml (p =...

Ovulation rate was measured by laparoscopy at two consecutive cycles on 366 ewes 2 yr old and over and 85 yearling ewes of five lines of Targhees from the base base population; 53 yearling linecross ewes were also included. The lines were two unselected controls (HCl and DC), two selected for 21 yr for increased 120-d weight (HW and DH) and one selected for 19 yr for multiple births (T). Ewes w...
