Concerns About Bi-Polar Tubal Coagulation and ReversalEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Women on the Tubal Reversal Message Board share their experiences with sterilization reversal following the bi-polar method of ligation. Most techniques of bipolar cautery or coagulation allow for successful reversal of tubal ligation. The reversal experts of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center have considerable experience with reversal of burned tubes and, in their hands, the chance of pregnancy after reversal of burnt tubes is approximately 70%.

Pregnant Four Months Following Tubal ReversalEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Many women on the Tubal Reversal Message Board have asked whetherthe length of time from tubal ligation until tubal reversal affects the chances of getting pregnant. 'Dreamerz' posts about her post-tubal pregnancy after having her tubes tied for 10 years. Age at the time of attempting pregnancy is a significant factor, rather than the length of time until the reversal itself. Chances of pregnancy after tubal reversal are excellent for most reversal patients and most reverse tubal ligation women become pregnant within eight months of sterilization reversal surgery.

Involvement of ER-calreticulin-Ca2+ signaling in the regulation of porcine oocyte meiotic maturation and maternal gene expressionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Calcium is one of the most ubiquitous signaling molecules, and controls a wide variety of cellular processes. It is mainly stored in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), bound to lumenal proteins. Calreticulin is the major Ca2+-binding chaperone in oocytes, and is integral to numerous cellular functions. To better understand the role of the ER- calreticulin-Ca2+ pathway in oocyte maturation and early embryogenesis, we characterized the porcine calreticulin gene and investigated its expression profile during oocyte maturation and early embryonic development. Calreticulin was widely expressed in pig tissues and its transcripts we...

In the current issue of Biology of Reproduction, Wai et al. report that the mtDNA content in mouse oocytes is involved in gamete viability, and there is a minimum number of copies required by oocytes/embryos to support postimplantation development. They found that most of mouse females carrying oocytes with less than 40,000-50,000 mtDNA copies were infertile due to developmental arrest until E10.5-E12.5, but not before the blastocyst stage. Although mitochondrial function appears to be dispensable during preimplantation, it is essential in subsequent stages of development. Thus, the oocyte needs enough mtDNA copies to ...

Maternal obesity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality for both mother and offspring. The mechanisms underlying the increased risk associated with maternal obesity are not well understood. In non-pregnant populations, many of the complications of obesity are thought to be mediated in part by inflammation and its sequelae. Recent studies suggest that a heightened inflammatory response may also be involved in mediating adverse clinical outcomes during pregnancy. The review summarises our current knowledge about adipose tissue biology and its role as an endocrine and inflammatory organ. The evidence for inf...

Impact of linoleic acid on bovine oocyte maturation and embryo development.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In conclusion, treatment of bovine COCs with LA during oocyte maturation affects the molecular mechanisms controlling oocyte nuclear maturation leading to a decreased number of MII stage oocytes and inhibited subsequent early embryo development. These data provide evidence for adverse effects of LA on oocyte development which can be associated with dietary increased level of LA in the follicular fluid and the decline in fertility in farm animals and human.

The most accurate way for a woman to determine if and when ovulation occurs after tubal ligation reversal is to use an ovulation predictor kit (OPK). An OPK indicates when ovulation is about to happen by detecting the mid-cycle surge of luteinizing hormone (LH). The surge in serum LH stimulates the release of a mature egg from the dominant ovarian follicle. Ovulation monitoring is recommended by Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith for their patients if they have not become pregnant within 6 months of their tubal ligation reversal.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) was initially thought to be produced solely by the fetal male during sexual differentiation to promote regression of the Müllerian ducts. Over the last decade however a new and interesting role has emerged for AMH in the ovary. In human ovaries, AMH is produced by granulosa cells from 36 weeks gestation until menopause, with the highest expression being in small antral follicles. AMH production gradually declines as follicles grow, once follicles reach a size at which they are dominant it has largely disappeared. Its removal from these larger follicles appears to be an important r...

Due to logistical and economic reasons, assisted reproduction of domestic animals has been based mostly on the use of oocytes isolated from ovaries collected at the slaughterhouse. In order to propagate valuable or rare genetic material, perform somatic cell nuclear transfer or generate genetically modified animals, it is essential to obtain fully competent oocytes that will allow full-term development of the in vitro-produced embryos. Such a need makes clear the crucial role played by oocyte quality. In fact, it is easy to compromise the oocyte's developmental potential but it is impossible to restore once it has been...

Aromatase, the enzyme responsible for the transformation of androgens into oestrogens, is encoded by the cyp19 gene expressed in the testis. The aim of the present study was to analyse the evolution of aromatase gene expression under FSH control in rat Sertoli cells between 10 and 30 days post partum, corresponding to the end of the proliferative period of Sertoli cells, establishment of the blood-testis barrier and acquisition of the mature phenotype. The maximum stimulatory effect of FSH on aromatase gene expression was obtained in 20-day-old rat Sertoli cells, compared with cells from 10- and 30-day-old rats, in par...

Sperm morphology, motility and fertilisation capacity in the myobatrachid frog Crinia georgiana.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Sperm traits have been found to vary between individuals within populations in a variety of taxa. Sperm motility, morphometry and viability may be expected to have important effects on male fertility, although previous studies have found varying patterns, especially in external fertilisers. In the present study, we examined the effects of sperm swimming velocity, the proportion of motile spermatozoa, sperm head and tail length and the proportion of live spermatozoa on fertilisation success in the externally fertilising myobatrachid frog Crinia georgiana using IVF techniques and by controlling sperm numbers. We found no...

Effects of medium and hypothermic temperatures on preservation of isolated porcine testis cells.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The effects of medium and hypothermic temperatures on testis cells were investigated to develop a strategy for their short-term preservation. Testes from 1-week-old piglets were enzymatically dissociated for cell isolation. In Experiment 1, testis cells were stored at either room (RT) or refrigeration (RG) temperature for 6 days in one of 13 different media. Live cell recovery was assayed daily using trypan blue exclusion. In Experiment 2, three media at RG were selected for immunocytochemical and in vitro culture studies. Live cell recovery was also assayed daily for 6 days using both trypan blue exclusion and a fluor...

Intrafollicular testosterone concentration and sex ratio in individually cultured bovine embryos.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In conclusion, under the conditions of the present study, the likelihood of an oocyte being fertilised by an X- or Y-bearing spermatozoon was not affected by the size of the follicle from which it was derived, nor by the testosterone concentration in the follicular fluid.
