production of progesterone but in very technical or scientific way, the corpus luteum is an endocrine structure, and don't forget it only forms during pregnancy so it's a temporary endocrine structure that produces progesterone in relatively high levels, estradiol and inhibin A in moderate levels and estrogen in small levels.

gestational diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia and gestational hypertension (Thadani et al., 2004). Also, during gestation, combinatorial effects of hormones like, human placental lactogen (Brelje et al., 1993), progesterone (Kalkhoff et al., 1970), estradiol and cortisol, act as counter-regulatory hormones to insulin, which contributes to more resistance of the body towards insulin (Ryan et al., 1988).…

The main type of breast cancer is hormone receptor positive breast cancer, which is caused by an increase of oestrogen levels in the body [3] this is because oestrogen causes an…

“The way we eat has changed more in the last 50 years than in the previous 10,000” (Food, Inc).

Since 1980, the percentage of obese children has gone from 5.8% to 17.5% (Obesity Rates 1). 38% of adults in our nation are considered obese, but 33% of the people who…

I. Introduction Born in the 1960s, Carolyn grew up in a time of changing contemporary standards concerning female sexuality and feminism. The culture in which she was raised informed many behavioral decisions she made throughout mate selection, pregnancy and childrearing. With little ability to compare her own female experiences to those of her somewhat absent mother, Carolyn worked closely with her father, husband and friends to inform herself on life changes she would have to make to…

Results To assay whether the MLPA is able to accurately detect TS cases, we first analyzed a cohort of known mosaic TS patients (“pilot TS group”). Using this group, the ratio able to detect all the mosaicisms and X structural abnormalities was 0.76 at least in one probe (table 1). This ratio permitted to identify also the lowest grade of mosaicism (15%) (mos 45,X[15]/46,XX[85]) among the patients of the pilot TS group. Interestingly, in this population, the MLPA detected Y material presence in…
