Posterior hypophysis homogenates of female rats stimulated with epinephrine subcutaneously contain a pheromonal factor that increments significantly the incidence of fertile coitus after having been placed in the oronasal groove of rats in proestro (69.2% fertile coitus vs. 36.6% of control). These same homogenates obtained from spayed rats increment reproductive activity even more (80.0% fertile coitus). The homogenates do not act by an intraperitoneal route. Male rats under the effect of high doses of D,L-propranolol reduce reproductive activity (21.2% fertile coitus). This effect is counteracted by posterior hypophysis homogenates from female rats stimulated with epinephrine, placed in the oronasal groove (72.2% fertile coitus). The homogenates of anterior hypophysis do not increase the reproductive capacity of rats in proestro, and do not modify the propranolol effects in male rats.

Background Sexual intercourse frequency (SIF) is widely known to be associated with fertility, but little is known about what predicts SIF among infertile couples trying to conceive. In this study, we examine the demographic and lifestyle risk factors associated with less frequent coitus among infertile couples. Methods This cross-sectional study examined infertile couples actively trying to conceive, selecting them from patients seeking fertility treatment.

- Metabolic syndrome (MS) negatively impacts reproductive health in female mice, leading to issues like disrupted estrous cycles and impaired reproductive success.
- In the study, mice on a high-fat diet showed signs of MS, such as insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances, which affected their endometrial health and reproductive outcomes.
- Treatment with metformin improved these reproductive issues by normalizing hormone levels and restoring proper endometrial function, suggesting potential benefits for women with MS seeking to enhance reproductive health.
In Brief: The HIPPO signaling effectors YAP1 and WWTR1 are required for murine pregnancy initiation, and mutation of these factors compromises the decidualization response and overall pregnancy success.
Abstract: Endometrial stromal cell decidualization is required for pregnancy success. Although this process is integral to fertility, many of the intricate molecular mechanisms contributing to decidualization remain undefined.
