Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a very common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Nerve growth factor (NGF) may be involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS. In this study, we investigated the effect of Korean red ginseng extract (KRGE) on the ovarian morphology and NGF expression in an estradiol valerate (EV)-induced rat model. Polycystic ovaries were induced by a single intramus...

Most combination oral contraceptives contain ethinyl estradiol and a progestin. A new and novel oral contraceptive formulation combines estradiol valerate (E2V) with dienogest (DNG) in a four-phase dosing regimen. 17β-estradiol is a naturally-occurring estrogen, and a contraceptive pill containing such an estrogen offers potential benefits with regard to metabolic side effects and adverse event...

Objective : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders that can lead to irregular menstrual cycles and hyperandrogenism. Reduced levels of progesterone and increased estrogen in these women can perpetually stimulate the endometrial tissue of the uterus. In this study, the effect of PCOS induction was studied using estradiol valerate. MaterialsAndMethods Adult ...

A double-blind cross-over trial of betamethasone 17-valerate (B17V) administered by aerosol was carried out by alternating two placebo periods with two treated periods at monthly intervals in 20 children with severe asthma. During the trial,...

The flavoprotein nitroalkane oxidase catalyzes the oxidative denitrification of primary or secondary nitroalkanes to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones with production of hydrogen peroxide and nitrite. The enzyme is irreversibly inactivated by treatment with N-ethylmaleimide at pH 7. The inactivation is time-dependent and shows first-order kinetics for three half-lives. The second-order rat...

objective : in this study, the effects of estradiol valerate and raloxifenea selective estrogen receptor modulator; (serm) on morphine induced sensitization were examined in mice memory, according to the step-down passive avoidance task. method: the mice received morphine or estradiol and raloxifene for three days alone or in combination with morphine. after a drug free period of 5 days, the su...

We read with great interest the Commentary of Griesinger and Kolibianakis (2012) about scheduling oocyte retrieval in GnRH antagonist cycles. Recently, the results of a randomized trial by our group were published, reporting a significant decrease in oocyte retrieval during weekend days following administration of estradiol valerate in the luteal phase of the cycle prior to the stimulated cycle...

This paper describes zeroand first-order derivative spectrophotometric methods for determination of estradiol valerate in pharmaceutical preparations. The solutions of the standard and pharmaceutical samples were prepared in methanol. Absorbances of estradiol valerate were measured at 280 nm for zero-order by measuring height of peak from zero, at 292 nm for first-order derivative spectrophotom...
