background: diazinon is a widely used organophosphate insecticide which is applied against plant pests. this compound has various side effects because it acts as an acetyl cholinesterase enzyme inhibitor. objective: the aim of present study was to investigate the effects of diazinon on pituitary–gonad axis and ovarian histological changes in rats. materials and methods: in total 50 female wista...

background: phytoestrogens are a group of plants derived compounds with weekly estrogen effect that appear to have protective effects on metabolic and hormonal abnormalities of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos). so the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of soy phytoestrogens on reproductive hormones and lipid profiles in pcos women. methods: in this quasi-randomized trial...

background apoptosis is a physiological mechanism of cell death and it can be triggered by a variety of internal and external stimuli. it has been indicated that some opium derivatives develop cell apoptosis. objectives the aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of opium addiction on ovary cell apoptosis in diabetic and non-diabetic wistar rats. materials and methods this experime...

Spotted scat ( Scatophagus argus ) is an important mariculture fish that of great economic significance in East and Southeast Asia. To date, there are no studies on ovary development regulation S. . Herein, the transcriptome profiles at different stages were constructed, genes pathways potentially involved secondary follicle growth identified. A total 25,426 detected by sequencing mRNAs from li...

A supernumerary ovary is an exceedingly rare disorder, in which the structure containing ovarian tissue is located at some distance from the normally placed ovary. 16 cases of endometriosis or tumors originating in a supernumerary ovary have been published in the English literature, but no case of coexisting endometriosis and a tumor has been published. We present the case of a 40-year-old fema...

Mature specimens ranging in weight from 47.00g to 4450g and in length from145mm to 610mm were used. Weight of ovary in the fish fluctuated from 4.0 g to 707 g with a mean value of 33.47. Absolute fecundity of samples varied from 3173 to 629230 and the relative fecundity varied in the range of 21.00 223.00 with a mean value of 91.17. The mathematical relationship of fecundity with other variable...

A 2-year-old multiparous (Case 1) and a 2.5-year-old nulliparous 2) Djungarian hamster each presented with history of prolapsed mass from the vulva. partial uterine prolapse was diagnosed in both cases, according to clinical diagnostic examinations. The replaced hamster, an ovariohysterectomy performed. histopathological examination removed tissues revealed cyst papillary hyperplasia ovary. Thi...
