The basic goal of this book is to examine the complex state of radioactivity in the environment,
including its sources and applications. In principle, there are two sources of environmental …

H 2 O 2 is a reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can diffuse away from its site of
generation and may act as a cell-to-cell signaling factor. The mechanisms responsible for the …

The cation channel ‘transient receptor potential vanilloid 2’ (TRPV2) is activated by a broad
spectrum of stimuli, including mechanical stretch, endogenous and exogenous chemical …

The corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrine organ, yet molecular mechanisms resulting
in its demise are not well known. The presence of phosphorylated mixed lineage kinase …

Background High levels of dopamine (DA) were described in human ovary and recently
evidence for DA receptors in granulosa and luteal cells has been provided, as well. However, …

Human primary granulosa cells (GCs) derived from women undergoing oocyte retrieval can
be cultured and used as a cellular model for the study of human ovarian function. In vitro, …

Plasma volume and red cell mass of various organs in piglets aged 24 hr (n= 7) and 7 (n= 6),
and 14 (n= 6) days were measured using 99m Tc-labeled albumin and 51 Cr-labeled red …

This multi-authored book is divided into 3 sections: chemistry, mode of action, toxicology,
and general aspects of sterol biosynthesis inhibitors; sterol synthesis inhibitors in plant …

Oxygen (O 2 ) concentrations have recently been discussed as important regulators of ovarian
cells. Human IVF-derived granulosa cells (human GCs) can be maintained in vitro and …

Objective: To analyze the prognostic value of motile sperm count after swim-up in IUI with
husband's sperm in a large group of subfertile couples. Design: Retrospective study. Setting:…
