Changes in the Level of Immunoglobulins and CD4/CD8 Ratio in Young and Aged Mice with Estradiol Deficiency.

Studies demonstrated that deficiency in 17β-estradiol (E) in postmenopausal women influences their immune system. However, few studies have reported alterations in immunologic presentation during nonnatural menopause in young females. Here we compared the differences in immune response between young C57BL/6N mice with surgical or medical variectomy and aged C57BL/6N mice with the common feature of E deficiency following Con A stimulation.

AMH trend after laparoscopic cystectomy and ovarian suturing in patients with endometriomas.

Purpose: To evaluate the ovarian reserve after laparoscopic cystectomy with suturing in patients with endometriomas.

Methods: A total of 80 women with unilateral or bilateral endometriomas underwent laparoscopic cystectomy using sutures for hemostasis after the excision of ovarian cysts. Serum levels of antimullerian hormone (AMH) and FSH were measured at the day 3 of menstrual cycles preoperatively, 6 and 12 months postoperatively.
