AI Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed how ovarian hormones affect auditory brainstem response (ABR) by comparing measurements between the pre- and postovulatory phases of the menstrual cycle in 40 healthy young women.
- - Results showed that during the postovulatory phase, specific ABR wave latencies and inter-peak latencies were significantly shorter, indicating improved auditory function compared to the preovulatory phase.
- - These findings suggest that the hormone progesterone may play a role in enhancing auditory processing during the postovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle.
Article Abstract
Studies with ovarian hormones on auditory brainstem response (ABR) have conflicting reports although women have ABR shorter than men. This study compared ABR between pre- and postovulatory phases of menstrual cycle in consenting 40 healthy female volunteers (age 19 ± 2.35 years). The study was conducted under standard laboratory conditions (room temperature 26 ± 2°C) using Neuropack (Nihon Kohden machine, NM-420S; H636, Japan) and earphone dynamic receiver ELEGA (Type DR-531; no.237, Japan) in sound proof room. Ears were stimulated simultaneously using standard protocol. ABR was recorded in pre- and postovulatory phases. Ovulation was estimated by measuring basal body temperature. The ABR wave latencies (WLs) I, II, III, IV, V and inter-peak latencies (IPLs) I-III, III-V, I-V were compared between the two phases of menstrual cycle using paired t test. The postovulatory phase had shorter WL V (5.71 ± 0.18 ms vs. 5.81 ± 0.19 ms, p < 0.01), IPL III-V (1.89 ± 0.16 ms vs. 1.94 ± 0.19 ms, p < 0.05), and I-V (3.88 ± 0.16 ms vs. 3.95 ± 0.18 ms, p < 0.05) than in preovulatory. Other WLs and IPLs showed decreasing trend in postovulatory phase. ABR is better in postovulatory phase as compared to preovulatory phase probably due to progesterone hormone which might be involved in modulating auditory hearing pathway at postovulatory phase.

Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products and Superovulation with Gonadotropins Alters RAGE expression in the Ovaries Differently at Each Follicular Stage of Development.

The purpose of this study was to examine the deposition of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their receptors, RAGE, in ovarian follicles during folliculogenesis in mice fed high (H-AGE) or low (L-AGE) AGE diets and following superovulation with gonadotropins. We hypothesize that H-AGE diet is associated with increased AGE deposition and RAGE expression in various stages of ovarian follicular development, and superovulation with gonadotropins may alter these changes. C57BL/6J mice were fed low L-AGE (n=10) or H-AGE (n=10) diet for 12 weeks.

Batch spawner fishes develop successive clutches of oocytes which allows them to participate in many reproductive cycles during their adult life (iteroparous) and spawn in multiple events within each breeding cycle. Here, ovarian follicular development was morpho-functionally analyzed in females of the iteroparous batch spawner fish Gymnocorymbus ternetzi. To obtain better insights into the reproductive morpho-physiology in batch spawners, the objective of this research was to analyze the dynamics of the follicular development, with its hormonal regulation between two active reproduction events.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role as transcription regulators in various aspects of follicular development, including steroidogenesis, ovulation, apoptosis, and gene regulation in poultry. However, there is a paucity of studies examining the specific impact of miRNAs on ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) across multiple grades in laying hens. Consequently, this study aims to investigate the roles of miRNAs in chicken GCs.

Anxiety is also more common in females than males. Importantly, natural changes in ovarian hormones levels are related to fluctuations in anxiety symptoms in healthy and clinical populations, and ovarian hormones likely modulate prefrontal cortex structure and function.

This study aims to determine the variability of the components of fitness along the menstrual cycle (MC) of physically active eumenorrheic women. Fifteen subjects were monitored along two consecutive MCs through the calendar-based counting method in combination with a urine luteinizing hormone surge kit. Subjects were tested at the early follicular phase (EFP), pre-ovulatory or late follicular phase (LFP), and post-ovulatory or mid-luteal phase (MLP).
