When you think about organs with an important role in reproduction, the liver most likely doesn't spring to mind. But a new report in the February issue of Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication, shows that estrogen receptors in the liver are critical for maintaining fertility. What's more, the expression...

Conclusion: High-dose estrogen-treated tall women are at risk of subfertility in later life. Their fecundity is significantly reduced. Treated women exhibit signs of accelerated ovarian aging with concomitant follicle pool depletion, which may be the basis of the observed subfertility.

Induction of ovulation
|

Abstract: Anovulatory infertility is one of the commonest causes of infertility and can be caused by problems related to the ovary (normogonadotropic hypogonadism) or the pituitary and hypothalamus (hypogonadotropic hypogonadism). Consequently induction of ovulation will depend on the cause of infertility. For those with normogonadotropic hypogonadism, ovulation can be induced...
