introduction: thyroid hormone is important for the growth, development and metabolism of the body. a new amount of data show that thyroid hormone influences on pituitary-testis axis. so in this study we investigated the effects of hypothyroidism induction by propiltiouracil (ptu) on serum levels of thyroid hormone, testosterone hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, body an...

background: our study compares the efficacy of the combined contraceptive vaginal ring to oral contraceptive pills (ocps) for hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (hpo) axis suppression in egg donor in vitro fertilization (ivf) cycles. methods: our retrospective cohort study includes patients from the center for assisted reproduction (care) in bedford, texas undergoing ivf cycles as egg donors from j...

ABSTRACT Introduction Basketball is a long-duration, high-intensity ball game. High competition and athletic combat require athletes to perform at an excellent technical tactical level. Therefore, studying physiological indicators related serum-hormone levels of basketball players effective way implement scientific physical monitoring athletes. Objective This paper aims understand the intense t...

Abstract Objective: Thyroid dysfunction complicates the metabolic derangement observed in Diabetes Mellitus (DM). It is necessary to recognize and treat it, when present, in order to achieve stability of metabolic control in these patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of DM on thyroid hormone levels and other biochemical variables. Materials and Methods: To determine...

Inappropriate TSH hypersecretion was diagnosed in a 34 years old woman. Earlier she had been treated by ablative therapy for hyperthyroidism. The present diagnosis was based on elevated basal serum TSH levels despite elevated serum free thyroid hormone level. Her TSH responses to TRH (peak value 240 mu/I) was high. Her albumin and prealbumin levels were normal. The serum TBG level, alpha subuni...

background beta-thalassemia is the most common hematology disease in human and leptin is one of the hormone that produce by adiposities cells. the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum leptin level and thyroid hormones in children with major beta-thalassemia. materials and methods this descriptive-cross sectional study was performed on 90 children aged 6-16 yea...

Background Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted by the granulosa cells of growing follicles during the primary to large antral follicle stages. Abnormal levels of AMH and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) may indicate a woman’s diminished ability or inability to conceive. Our aim is to investigate the changes in serum AMH and FSH concentrations at different age groups and its correlation w...

Background: Various hormone tests of the presence of spermatozoa on testicular sperm extraction (TESE) in azoospermic men have been investigated. Because of its clinical importance, we conducted this study to evaluate complete reproductive serum hormone levels in nonobstructive azoospermic (NOA) patients for determining markers which can predict the spermatogenesis. Materials and Methods: Seven...
