Egypt Abstract This
study designed to detect the relation between the aromatase
CYP19 gene SNP50 variation and hyperandrogenism in
polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Egyptian women. Sixty women included in this
comparative study and divided into 2 groups; 30 PCOS women with clinical hyperandrogenism included in study group and 30 healthy
non-PCOS women in control group. PCOS diagnosis based on the Rotterdam
criteria. Studied women underwent complete physical examination
with calculation of body mass index (BMI) and assessment of hirsutism. Studied women subjected to hormonal profile and
to CYP19 genotyping by collecting 5 ml whole blood on EDITA for DNA
extraction and SNP 50 (rs2414096) genotype to detect the relation between the
aromatase CYP19 gene SNP50 variation and hyperandrogenism in polycystic ovary syndrome Egyptian
women. Results showed that LH and LH/FSH ratio were significantly high in
PCOS women (16.7 ± 2.1 IU/l and 2.01 ± 3.3; respectively) compared to
controls (3.5 ± 1.3 IU/l and 0.45 ± 2.1; respectively), also, serum
testosterone and estradiol were significantly high
in PCOS women (3.2 ± 3.8 nMol/l and 245.5 ± 198 pMol/l; respectively) compared to controls (1.2 ± 2.7 nMol/l and 176.2 ± 142.3 pMol/l;
respectively). CYP19 rs2424096 genotypic distribution AG alleles was
significantly high in PCOS women compared to controls (11 (44%) versus 2
(8.4%); respectively) (p = 0.02). Estradiol/testosterone
ratio was significantly low in AG genotypes PCOS compared to AG genotype
controls (80.8 ± 7.3 versus 162.4 ± 6.8) (P = 0.001). In conclusion, CYP 19 rs2414096 polymorphism is associated with aromatase
deficiency or reduced aromatase activity with
subsequent hyperandrogenism in PCOS Egyptian women.

investigate the effect of adding various concentrations of penicillaminen, hypotaurine and
epinephrine (PHE) to the in vitro fertilization (IVF) media on the
fertilization rate and embryonic development up to the blastocyst
stage of buffalo oocytes. In vitro matured oocytes were fertilized in different PHE concentration
(10, 40 and 80 µM/ml) in the presence of 5.0 mM
caffeine. After IVF, the fertilization rate, the cleavage rate and the
development rates up to the blastocyst stage were
assessed. The present results revealed that supplementation of the
fertilization media with 40 mg/ml PHE to the fertilization media increased
significantly (P<0.05) the fertilization, cleavage rates and the
development rates up to the morula and blastocyst stage (73.15±2.19, 59.90±6.19, 48.60±24.88 and
33.13±7.04%, respectively) compared to those of the control groups
(38.83±4.82, 37.13±2.43, 7.75±1.937.75±1.93 and 2.50±1.04%,
respectively). In conclusion, the
current results demonstrated that addition of 40 µM/ml PHE to fertilization medium, had a positive effect on buffalo oocytes, fertilization and supported embryonic
development up to the blastocyst stage. Keywords: In vitro fertilization, oocyte, embryo development, buffalo, PHE |

Department of Zoology, Cotton College, Guwahati, Assam-781001, India Abstract In the present study a systematic sequence analysis of 6 mitochondrial genes (NADH dehydrogenase 2, NADH dehydrogenase 3, NADH dehydrogenase 4L, NADH dehydrogenase 4, Adenosine triphosphate synthase 6 and Adenosine triphosphate synthase 8) was carried out in 50 clinically diagnosed infertile cases of various types and severity of Northeast Indian population. A total of 50 different nucleotide substitutions were detected of which 24 are new. Mutations like A4824G, G10373A and A9156G in azoospermic males, G5054A, G5046A, C10268T, C8930T, T9148C and T9128C in oligozoospermic and G8998A and G8557C in cryotozoospermic individuals are observed for first time in this study. Most of the infertile men are found to belong from haplogroup Y.

designed to evaluate effect of starting Clomiphene
Citrate (CC) in oligomenorrheic women with PCOS immediately after
progestin therapy without waiting withdrawal bleeding versus CC on day 2 of the withdrawal bleeding. Eighty Four (84) women with PCOS, oligo/amenorrhea were studied. Studied women received
oral progestin to induce withdrawal bleeding. Women who started CC
immediately after oral progestin without waiting withdrawal bleeding were
included in group I and women who started CC at the same dose and for the
same duration, but on day 2 of the induced withdrawal bleeding were included
in group II. Transvaginal ultrasound scan (TVS) for
folliculometry and endometrial thickness was
performed after end of CC treatment and repeated every 48 hours till mature
follicle (s) was detected. Results
showed that rate of detection of
one mature follicle was slightly higher in early CC group compared with late
CC group 25 (59.5%) versus 21 (50%); respectively), but this difference was
not significant. Endometrial thickness at detection of mature follicle was
significantly higher in early CC group compared with late CC group (10.42 ±
1.93 mm versus 8.7 ± 1.77; respectively), clinical pregnancy rate was
slightly higher in early CC group compared with late CC group (6(14.3%)
versus 4(9.5%); respectively); but this difference was not significant. It was concluded that early CC administration for ovulation induction in
PCOS seems to be associated with significantly thicker endometrium,
slightly higher ovulation and pregnancy rates, compared to the conventional
CC administration. Keywords: Clomiphene citrate, Ovulation induction, Polycystic ovary

– 516 003, A.P. INDIA Abstract Baicalein a flavonoid comes under phytoestrogen family found to have estrogenic activity in mammals. The present investigation aimed to study the effect of baicalein on behaviour and developmental land marks of Wistar mice. Baicalein at a dose of 30, 60 and 90 mg/Kg body weight were injected to three different groups of pregnant female mice on gestation days 11, 13, 15 and 17, whereas controls were injected with vehicle. Controls and experimental groups were allowed to deliver pups and baicalein exposure was continued during lactation. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed in the behaviour of experimental animals during experimentation when compared to controls. Observed significant decrease (P<0.05) in number of live pups in baicalein received females when compared to controls. Also observed decrease in the survival index of pups on postnatal day 4 and 21 in experimental groups. Significant (P<0.05) decrease in early onset of puberty in females (vaginal opening) and delay in testes descent in males of experimental groups were also observed. Also observed significant decrease (P<0.05) in the body weight of pups exposed perinatally to baicalein on postnatal day (PND) 1, 7, 14 and 21, along with significant decrease (P<0.05) in crown rump length when compared to controls. No significant change was observed in pinna detachment, eye opening and fur development in experimental groups when compared to controls. It is clear from the results that baicalein interferes in developmental landmarks in mice. Keywords: Baicalein, Perinatal, Developmental landmarks, Puberty, Testes descent Journal of
