Lifestyle Management in Menopause: A Systematic Review of Women With Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), the loss of ovarian function before age 40, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, low bone mineral density, dementia and psychological distress. Lifestyle interventions reduce chronic disease risk in other populations and, with hormone therapy, may improve health outcomes in POI.

Paracrine effects of oocyte secreted factors and stem cell factor on porcine granulosa and theca cells in vitro

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2003
Oocyte control of granulosa and theca cell function may be mediated by several growth factors via a local feedback loop(s) between these cell types. This study examined both the role of oocyte-secreted factors on granulosa and thecal cells, cultured ...

Slow Turning Lateral Vessel Bioreactor Improves Embryoid Body Formation and Cardiogenic Differentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells. [PDF]

, 2013
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have the ability to form aggregates, which are called embryoid bodies (EBs). EBs mimic early embryonic development and are commonly produced for cardiomyogenesis.

Phylogenomic analysis of ultraconserved elements clarifies relationships and morphological evolution in Cryptoplacoidea (Mollusca: Polyplacophora)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Targeted enrichment of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) is a powerful tool for resolving phylogeny in groups with limited morphological or molecular data. Here, we use UCEs to reconstruct the first comprehensive phylogeny of the chiton superfamily Cryptoplacoidea, including museum material up to 133 years old.

Wt1 Is Required for the Regression of Müllerian Ducts in Male Mice by Inducing Wif1 and Osx Expression

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Wt1 expressed in the MD mesenchyme promotes MD regression by inducing Wif1 and Osx transcription. In male mice, mesenchyme‐specific inactivation of Wt1 results in MD retention. ABSTRACT In mammals, Müllerian ducts (MDs) are the precursors of the female reproductive tract which regress in males during embryonic development.

Testicular torsion in foals and stallions

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Testicular torsion is a rare condition in horses characterised by a change in the position of the testis due to the testicular mesentery twisting around its own axis; it can occur both when the testis is still in the abdominal cavity and when it has descended into the scrotum.

Clinical and surgical findings in a mare with unilateral ovarian fibroleiomyoma and adhesions

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary This case report describes the clinical presentation, ultrasonographic findings, surgical management and outcome of a 7‐year‐old Warmblood mare presented for recurrent colic, weight loss and poor performance. Rectal palpation identified a firm mass in the left caudal abdomen, which appeared on ultrasonography as a large, fluid‐filled, cyst‐like

Granulosa cell insight: unraveling the potential of menstrual blood-derived stem cells and their exosomes on mitochondrial mechanisms in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Journal of Ovarian Research
Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) presents a significant challenge in women’s reproductive health, characterized by disrupted folliculogenesis and ovulatory dysfunction.

Ovarian pain in the mare: Clinical implications of mittelschmerz and oestrus‐related behavioural abnormalities

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Mittelschmerz is a well‐recognised benign peri‐ovulatory pain syndrome in women and, by physiological analogy, may also occur in mares. In equine practice, peri‐ovulatory ovarian pain has been associated with transient discomfort, colic‐like signs and behavioural changes, although its true clinical relevance remains poorly defined.

Transcriptomic analysis of the effects exerted by curcumin on dihydrotestosterone-induced ovarian granulosa cells

Frontiers in Endocrinology
PurposeHyperandrogenism is a leading cause of developmental retardation in ovarian granulosa cells. Previous studies have indicated that curcumin significantly improves follicular dysplasia, a characteristic of the polycystic ovary syndrome.
