This study was designed to examine the effects of retinoic acid adding to cumulus and/or fibroblast cellsmonolayer on the development of mouse early embryos. One-cell mouse embryos were obtained from NMRImice after superovulation by an intraperitoneal injection of 5 IU equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG)followed 48 hrs later by 5 IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). Mouse embryonic fibrobla...

Rudd, B. T., Rayner, P. H. W., Smith, M. R., Holder, G., Jivani, S. K. M., and Theodoridis, C. G. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 590. Effect of human chorionic gonadotrophin on plasma and urine testosterone in boys with delayed puberty. The plasma testosterone and/or urine testosterone levels after 1500 units of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) for four days have been measured...

False negative reactions in pregnancy testing with frogs and toads can be avoided by concentrating the urinary chorionic gonadotrophin. If unconcentrated urines are used, the incidence of these reactions may be as high as 43.7 per cent' and 50 per cent.8 Inaccuracy occurs most frequently during the late summer and early autumn months when many batrachians are relatively insensitive, and also wh...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of fertility drugs on overall risk of ovarian cancer using data from a large cohort of infertile women. DESIGN Population based cohort study. SETTING Danish hospitals and private fertility clinics. PARTICIPANTS 54,362 women with infertility problems referred to all Danish fertility clinics during 1963-98. The median age at first evaluation of infertility w...

Immunohistological methods were used to investigate the presence of calcitonin, thyrotrophin, carcinoembryonic antigen, beta pregnancy specific glycoprotein, human placental lactogen, and the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotrophin in formalin fixed lung tumour tissue sections. Carcinoembryonic antigen was observed in 71% of 101 tumours studied (70%), beta 1 pregnancy specific glycoprotei...

We have assessed testicular function with luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) and human chorionic gonadotrophin stimulation tests in 44 boys previously treated with, or currently receiving, chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). At the same time a testicular biopsy was performed in each boy and the morphology was studied. Histologically the chemotherapy appeared to dama...

this study was designed to examine the effects of retinoic acid adding to cumulus and/or fibroblast cellsmonolayer on the development of mouse early embryos. one-cell mouse embryos were obtained from nmrimice after superovulation by an intraperitoneal injection of 5 iu equine chorionic gonadotrophin (ecg)followed 48 hrs later by 5 iu human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcg). mouse embryonic fibrobla...

Administration of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist in a 29 year old woman with infertility due to ovulatory dysfunction resulted in the development of several ovarian cysts. After human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) was injected, the cysts were aspirated and one mature oocyte was retrieved. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was performed and the resulting embryo was transfer...
