background: endometrial integrin expression changes might be a reason for implantation failure in polycystic ovarian syndromes (pcos). objective: assessment of integrin genes and proteins expression upon endometrium in the pcos experimental mouse model was the main goal of this study. materials and methods: 30 nmri female mice were equally divided into control, experimental (pcos; received estr...

Whatever the origin of severe insulin resistance (primary insulin receptors defects or lipodystrophies), in vivo hyperinsulinemia has been clearly shown to promote ovarian growth and androgen synthesis independently of gonadotropins. In lipodystrophic syndromes, the endocrine deficiency of adipose tissue has been shown to play important pathophysiological roles in metabolic alterations. In part...

the objective of this study was to examine the correlation between both midfollicular fsh/lh ratio and number(s) of follicles with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). this was carried out in ivf unit at mirza kouchak khan hospital. to induce ovulation, pcos patients were stimulated with gonadotropines. fifty four pcos patients with norma...

The present study probes putative disruption of hypothalamic control of multihormone outflow in polycystic ovarian syndrome by quantitating the joint synchrony of leptin and LH release in adolescents with this syndrome and eumenorrheic controls. To this end, hyperandrogenemic oligo- or anovulatory patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (n = 11) and healthy girls (n = 9) underwent overnight b...

BACKGROUND The incidence of invasive cancer within a mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas varies between 6 and 36%. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism and anovulatory infertility. One surgical treatment that can restore endocrine balance and ovulation in polycystic ovarian syndrome is partial ovarian destruction. Successful pregnancies following prec...
