The effect of leptin on maturation of the ovarian follicles of albino rats – An electron microscopic study

Elshafie MAA , Fouad GMM , Ewies AAA

BackgroundLeptin is suggested to be a permissive factor for puberty by stimulating the secretion of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone by the hypothalamic neurons, and luteinising and follicle-stimulating hormones by pituitary cells.ObjectiveTo document the ultrastructural changes that occur in the ovarian follicles of immature albino rats treated with leptin when compared with controls.Su...

Leptin accelerating effect on the puberty of female albino rats – immunohistochemical and cytological data

Elshafie MAA , Fouad GMM , Ewies AAA

BackgroundLeptin serves as a signal to the central nervous system with information on the critical amount of adipose tissue stores that is necessary for activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.ObjectivesTo determine the endometrial histological changes and vaginal cytological alterations, suggestive of ovulation and the onset of the oestrus phase of the oestrus cycle, that occur in the immature ...

Bessaad Lina , Chaabouni Rim , Cherif Malek , Mouhaymen MISSAOUI Abdel , Amine Fouad Mohamed , Sellami Khadija , Hammami Fatma , Masmoudi Abderrahmen , Rekik Nabila , Turki Hamida

Introduction & Objective: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a chronic immune-mediated blistering disease that mainly affects the elderly. This affection can be triggered by multiple factors such as drugs. Gliptins are one of the most incriminated drugs in the drug-induced bullous pemphigoid (DIBP). Our objective was to determine the characteristics of this pathology associated with the use of this medication through two cases of BP confirmed by histology and direct immunofluoresc...

Adrenal vein sampling for subtype classification of primary aldosteronism in British Columbia: insights and challenges

Darras Pol , Holmes Daniel

Background: Primary aldosteronism is identified in approximately 10% of hypertensive all-comers. Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) allows localization of aldosterone production, identifying cases where unilateral adrenalectomy can be curative. Unfortunately, AVS is technically challenging.Methods: Data from AVS procedures performed in BC were extracted from the SunQuest laboratory information system in Vancouver Coastal Health. Cortisol and aldosterone levels ...

From Geoffrey Harris’s hypothalamic principle to a unified theory of stress and stress system disorders

Chrousos George P

The existence of the principle of hypothalamic hypophysiotropic factors, predicted so prophetically by G W Harris in the 1940’s, has been confirmed by irrefutable evidence. This principle is central to the survival of complex organisms as both individuals and species. Life exists through maintenance of a complex dynamic equilibrium, or homeostasis, that is constantly challenged by intrinsic or extrinsic adverse forces, or stressors. Thus, stress is defined as a state of t...
