Effect of pinealectomy on homocysteine levels in ovariectomized rats.

Objective: Hyperhomocysteinemia plays a role in obstetric and gynecological diseases and such diseases are seen as a consequence of an impaired methionine cycle. In the present study, it was aimed to determine the effect of estradiol and progesterone on homocysteine levels in pinealectomized and ovariectomized rats.

Materials And Methods: The study was carried out on 24 adult Spraque-Dawley female rats.

The influence of estradiol and progesterone and melatonin supplementation on TNF-alpha levels in ovariectomized and pinealectomized rats.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of estradiol and progesterone and melatonin supplementation on TNF-alpha levels in ovariectomized and pinealectomized rats. The study was carried out on 42 adult, Spraque-Dawley strain female rats aged 6 months and weighing 200-250 grams. The rats were divided into 6 groups, each group contained 7 rats.

Lipid peroxidation in ovariectomized and pinealectomized rats: the effects of estradiol and progesterone supplementation.

In the present study, we investigated the effect of estradiol and progesterone supplementation on oxidant and antioxidant parameters of renal tissue in ovariectomized and pinealectomized rats. The study was carried out on 36 adult, Sprague-Dawley strain female rats, 6 months of age and weighing 200-250 g. The rats were divided into six groups, each group included six rats: Group 1: Sham-ovariectomized (Sham-Ovx); Group 2: Ovariectomized (Ovx); Group 3: Ovx and estradiol (E) and progesterone (P) supplemented (Ovx+E-P); Group 4: Ovariectomized and sham pinealectomy (Ovx+sham Pnx); Group 5: Ovariectomized+Pinealectomized (Ovx+Pnx); Group 6: Ovariectomized+Pinealectomized+Hormone Supplemented group (Ovx+Pnx+E-P).

Lipid peroxidation in liver tissue of ovariectomized and pinealectomized rats: effect of estradiol and progesterone supplementation.

The present study aimed to determine the effect of estradiol-progesterone supplementation and pinealectomy on lipid peroxidation of liver tissue in ovariectomized rats. The study was carried out on 36 adult Sprague-Dawley female rats, which weighed 200-250 g. The rats were divided into 6 groups: Group 1: Sham Ovariectomy (Sham-Ovx), Group 2: Ovariectomy (Ovx), Group 3: Ovx + Estradiol-Progesterone supplementation (Ovx + H), Group 4: Sham Pinealectomy and Ovx (Sham Pnx -Ovx), Group 5: Ovx -Pnx, Group 6: Ovx -Pnx + H.

The effect of estradiol and progesterone application on leptin concentration in ovariectomized rats.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of estradiol and progesterone application on leptin secretion in ovariectomised rats. The study included 30 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were divided into three groups as follows: Group 1; Sham ovariectomy group (n=10), Group 2; Ovariectomy group (n=10), Group 3; Ovariectomized and estradiol propionate (450 microg/kg rat) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (15 mg/kg rat) supplemented group (n=10).
