Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate whether ovarian suppression by two different hormonal methods may spare the ovary the cytotoxic effects of isotretinoin in a rat model.
Materials And Methods: Four groups (n=8 Sprague-Dawley albino rats per group) were studied: control (Group I), 7.5 mg/kg/day isotretinoin (Group II), isotretinoin plus the combination of 0.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared serum vitamin D and osteocalcin levels in non-osteoporotic postmenopausal women with and without metabolic syndrome.
- Women with metabolic syndrome had significantly lower levels of both vitamin D and osteocalcin compared to those without.
- A positive correlation was found between vitamin D and osteocalcin levels, while both factors showed relationships with various clinical and biochemical parameters, indicating potential impacts on insulin resistance and inflammation.
Objectives: Various physiological and pathological conditions can induce significant variations in plasma concentrations of tumor markers, such as CA 19-9, which is present in the serum and amniotic fluid of pregnant women. Herein, we aimed to determine the clinical importance of maternal serum CA 19-9 levels in the diagnosis of neural tube defects (NTDs).
Material And Methods: A total of 100 women were included in this controlled cross-sectional study.
