Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is the commonest endocrinological disorder of women in reproductive age group. It characterized by oligo/anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and raised Luteinizing Hormone: Follicle Stimulating Hormone ratio. Elevated levels Hormone, contribute to hyperandrogenism altered ratio between Hormone. The present case report discusses Ayurvedic management - a diagnosed Syndrome....

AIM In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the clinical, antropometric and laboratory findings of female patients diagnosed with central precocious puberty and to determine the laboratory value with the best diagnostic accuracy in the diagnosis of central precocious puberty. MATERIALS AND METHOD Female patients whose breast development began before the age of 8 years were included in the stu...

Background: Ovarian physiology illustrates the synergistic interaction between luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone in the process of folliculogenesis. While follicle stimulating hormone has been well established as a marker of ovarian reserve, the role of luteinizing hormone has remained somewhat controversial and it seems to have become the ‘forgotten gonadotropin’. The follow...

The objective of research was to determine the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of serum follicle stimulating hormone and testis size in predicting spermatogenesis in infertile men with azoospermia. In a prospective study, azoospermic men were studied. Serum follicle stimulating hormone measurement and scrotal sac ultrasonography were performed. Bilateral testis biopsy was...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare Gonal-F(®), a recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone, with Menopur(®), a highly purified human menopausal gonadotrophin (hpHMG) in assisted reproduction in Greece. METHODS A decision tree in combination with a Markov model was used to assess the clinical and economical impact of comparators for up to three consecutive cycles. Transition pr...

A patient with a pituitary adenoma secreting follicle-stimulating hormone with co-existent primary hyperaldosteronism is described. After his second transsphenoidal surgery, the patient developed a Staphylococcus aureus pituitary abscess. Symptoms improved after abscess drainage. Subsequent cabergoline therapy arrested the deterioration of symptoms. and decreased serum follicle-stimulating horm...

BACKGROUND It has been hypothesized that alteration of hormone systems is involved in the carcinogenesis of acrylamide. The aim of the present study was to examine the cross-sectional associations between dietary acrylamide intake and sex hormone levels in premenopausal Japanese women. METHODS Study subjects were 393 women who had regular menstrual cycles less than 40 days long. Acrylamide in...
