Aim: To evaluate the fetal aortic isthmus (AoI) diameter and flow in pregnant women diagnosed with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP).
Methods: In this prospective case-control study, fetal AoI diameter and Doppler measurements were performed in the ICP group (n: 30) and the control group (n: 42). Clinical characteristics, fetal AoI diameter and Doppler measurements, serum bile acid levels, liver enzyme levels, and obstetric and perinatal outcomes were compared between the groups.

Blood serum (BS) and seminal plasma (SP) share a plethora of compounds that might present an individual and/or temporal concentration variation. We aimed to determine whether BS and SP concentrations of albumin, calcium, citrate, creatinine, fructose, glucose, lactate, total protein, urea, zinc, cortisol, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and testosterone are related to weekly collections in New Zealand White (NZW) adult rabbit bucks. During a 12-week study, blood samples were obtained at the beginning and the end of the study period, and semen samples were taken twice a week from four NZW adult rabbit bucks, starting at 6-7 months of age.

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are synthesised de novo by peripheral tissues and the adrenal cortex of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Skin expresses an enzyme called 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which reduces cortisone to the active hormone cortisol which activates GC receptors. 11β-HSD1 plays a significant role in alleviating atopic inflammation through the elevation of the concentrations of active GC in the skin.

Menkes disease (MD) is a rare X-linked recessive syndrome that is caused by mutations in the ATP7A gene, which encodes the P-type ATP enzyme. The ATP7A gene encodes 1500 amino acids and is expressed in a number of organs, including the brain, muscles, kidneys and lungs. ATP7A transports copper between cell membranes using energy generated by ATP hydrolysis.
