background: it is important to protect oocytes and embryos from oxidative stress in the culture medium. melatonin has been shown to be a direct free radical scavenger. objective: effect of melatonin during in vitro oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryo development of mouse oocytes was evaluated. materials and methods: oocytes from supper-ovulated mouse were divided to two groups: cumulus ...

OBJECTIVE To review the etiology, precipitating factors, clinical findings, screening recommendations, and treatment for primary hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism in the older patient. DATA SOURCES A PubMed search of English language articles using a combination of words: elderly, thyroid, hypothyroid,* subclinical hypothyroid,* etiology, screening, diagnosis, and treatment to ide...

Subclinical hypothyroidism is mainly diagnosed by laboratory results as there are no presenting clinical signs and symptoms. There are only few studies done in prevalence and patterns of age distributions of subclinical hypothyroidism in India. Therefore the study was designed to estimate the prevalence and distribution of subclinical hypothyroidism in rural women. This study is a hospital base...

background: pregnancy has a huge impact on the thyroid function in both healthy women and those that have thyroid dysfunction. the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women is relatively high. objective: the objective of this review was to increase awareness and to provide a review on adverse effect of thyroid dysfunction including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and thyroid autoimmun...

Thyroid disorders are highly prevalent, occurring most frequently in aging women. Thyroid-associated symptoms are very similar to symptoms of the aging process; thus, improved methods for diagnosing overt and subclinical hypothyroidism in elderly people are crucial. Thyrotropin measurement is considered to be the main test for detecting hypothyroidism. Combined evaluations of thyroid stimulatin...

background: determination of oocyte and embryo quality are one of the most important goals in ivf. anti-mullerian hormone (amh) is secreted by the ovarian granulosa cells into blood flow and follicular fluid. follicular fluid anti-mullerian hormone level is probably a marker of activity of granulose cells. objective: to evaluate whether high level of follicular fluid anti-mullerian hormone leve...

OBJECTIVES Thyroid disorders are among the common endocrine problems in pregnant women. It is now well established that not only overt but subclinical thyroid dysfunction also has adverse effects on maternal and fetal outcome. There are few data from Bangladesh about the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy. With this background, this study aims to find out thyroid dysfunction (both o...

The influence of hypothyroidism on haemostasis is an active research area. Not only bleeding tendency but also hypercoagulable states have been reported in hypothyroid patients. Decreased and increased fibrinolytic activity in hypothyroid patients has been shown in several studies. Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) is an inhibitor of fibrinolysis, which has been recently isolat...

objective: the goal of the current research was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on c-reactive protein (crp) and lipid profile in overweight-obese women with subclinical hypothyroidism. methods: this study enrolled 23 women who suffered from subclinical hypothyroidism. patients' average age was 41.08±6.56 years and bmi was >25 kg/m2. subjects, following medical screening, were obje...

Prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism is increasing in community. Oxidative stress is a common occurrence in hypothyroidism. Studies regarding oxidative stress in subclinical & overt hypothyroidism are limited and controversial. Aim of the study was to estimate and compare the malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl (PC) as oxidative stress parameters, in control, subclinical and overt hy...
