OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article was to evaluate MRI features of uterine leiomyomas that predict volumetric response after uterine artery embolization (UAE). MATERIALS AND METHODS. This retrospective study included 75 patients with 212 uterine leiomyomas who were successfully treated between August 2013 and December 2018. To predict uterine v...

Nitrate is a wide extend pollutant of ground and surface water. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of nitrate on the body weight, food and water consumption as well as thyroid hormone in hybrid female rabbits. Forty-five, six week-old of female New Zealand White rabbits were randomly assigned to five experimental groups accord...

In contrast to other species, the histology of the equine follicle during ovulation has not been described. Preovulatory follicles were isolated during oestrus at 0, 12, 24, 30, 33, 36 and 39 h (n = 5-6 follicles per time point) after an ovulatory dose of hCG to characterize the cellular and vascular changes associated with ovulation in mares. Piec...

Estradiol biosynthesis is a key biochemical trait of developing follicles. To study its regulation in equine follicles, the objectives of this study were to clone and determine the structure of equine cytochrome P450 aromatase (P450AROM), and characterize the regulation of P450AROM and P450 17alpha-hydroxylase/C17-20 lyase (P45017alpha) messenger R...

The time- and gonadotropin-dependent regulation of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) has not been characterized in vivo in preovulatory follicles of large monoovulatory species or sexually mature animals. The objectives of this study were to clone equine StAR and describe the regulation of its messenger RNA (mRNA) in equine follicles af...
