Background: Breast cancer is a hormone-dependent malignancy that is associated with estrogen and progesterone interactions. The liver is the most important organ to be affected by the metastasis of breast cancer, which causes functional impairment. We compared levels of obesity, 17β-estradiol, and secreted proteins in postmenopausal women with breast cancer but without hepatic symptoms to those...

background: detection of best predictor of ovarian reserve in patients with temporarily or consistently elevated early follicular phase serum levels of fsh is one of the most important goals in assisted reproductive technique (art). objective: to evaluate whether high level of anti-mullerian hormone level is related to success of art in patients with temporarily or consistently elevated early f...

Background and objective Aside from direct toxic effects, Sulfur Mustard (SM) induced serum hormone abnormalities may aggravate ocular complaints, including Ocular Surface Discomfort (OSD) (burning, itching, and redness), dry eye sensation, photophobia, blurred vision, foreign body sensation, and pain. The aim of the current study was to investigate the possible associ...

A patient with adenocarcinoma of the stomach and recurrent hypoglycemia is presented. The fasting blood sugar ranged from lOm/100,ml to 35mg/100 and the serum insuline levels ranged from 24 miU/ml to  42 miu/ml. The counterregulatory hormones(growth hormone, cortisol, adrenocorticotropin hormone) levels were within normal limits. No significant hepatic involvement was observed in isotopic live...

Abstract Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and testosterone (T) both play distinct roles in the early stages of folliculogenesis. However, relationship between serum T AMH levels is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate association infertile women. A total 1935 women aged 20–46 years were included cross-sectional divided into four quartile groups (Q1 Q4) based on levels. Compared subjec...

Background: Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are among the most common causes of mortalities worldwide. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has an important role in the pathogenesis of CVDs. The aim of the current study was to compare serum PTH levels between patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, and normal coronary function. Methods: This descriptive and analytic stud...

Levels of thyroid hormones, serum thyroxine, triiodothyronine (T3), free thyroxine (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and thyrotropin (TSH) were measured in 55 patients with liver cirrhosis using radioimmunoassay techniques. Results were compared with 78 controls. The mean serum concentration of T3, FT3 and FT4 were significantly decreased in cirrhotics, while no significant change was noted in...
