Journal: The future of frozen-thawed embryo transfer in hormone replacement therapy cycles. (Pubmed Central) - May 19, 2023 Natural and modified NC FET should be used whenever possible to mitigate adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes after HRT FET. For anovulatory women, whenever ovulation can be induced, we advocate the use of mild stimulation FET to create a corpus luteum awaiting results from RCTs limited to oligo-anovulatory women.

Preclinical, Journal: Distribution of estrogen receptors alpha and beta in the brain of male rats with same-sex preference. (Pubmed Central) - May 16, 2023 This last idea was investigated herein by examining males treated with the aromatase inhibitor, letrozole, administered prenatally (0.56 ?g/kg G10-22)...The higher expression of ERs in these males was different than their expression in females, with male sex-preference. This suggests that males with same-sex preference showed a unique brain, this sui generis steroid receptor expression probably participates in the biological underpinnings of sexual preference.

Preclinical, Journal: Deletion of androgen receptors from kisspeptin neurons prevents PCOS features in a letrozole mouse model. (Pubmed Central) - May 16, 2023 However, KARKO mice were not fully protected from the effects of LET-induced hyperandrogenism and still exhibited reduced corpora lutea numbers and increased body weight gain. These data indicate that increased androgen signaling in kisspeptin-expressing neurons plays a critical role in PCOS pathogenesis, but highlight that other mechanisms are also involved.

Contrary to Ana and Let, this study highlights the potential benefits of combining CBD with Exe to improve breast cancer treatment and opens up the possibility of new therapeutic approaches comprising the use of cannabinoids.

Impact of genetic background on chronic inflammation in a letrozole-induced mouse model of PCOS (ENDOExpo) - May 11, 2023 - Abstract #ENDO2023ENDO_844; This systems immunology approach has allowed us to define PCOS associated inflammation and will be the basis for integrating human inflammation in PCOS with mouse models that appropriately recapitulate disease. The discovery of Th17 cells as key inflammatory mediators provide targets for understanding the mechanisms linking chronic inflammation to reproductive and metabolic outcomes in PCOS, and will assist in future development of anti-inflammatory therapies.

Journal: Parahydrogen in Reversible Exchange Induces Long-Lived N Hyperpolarization of Anticancer Drugs Anastrozole and Letrozole. (Pubmed Central) - May 10, 2023 The hyperpolarization can exceed 10%, corresponding to N signal enhancement of over 280,000-fold at a clinically relevant magnetic field of 1 T. This sensitivity gain enables polarization studies at naturally abundant N enrichment level (0.4%). Moreover, the nitrile N sites enable long-lasting polarization storage with [N]T over 9 min, enabling signal detection from a single hyperpolarization cycle for over 30 min.

Journal: Characterization of Early Gonadal Differentiation and Induction of Sex Reversal in the Rock Bream Oplegnathus fasciatus. (Pubmed Central) - May 10, 2023 Sex reversal was induced via the oral administration of letrozole (LTZ), 17?-methyltestosterone (MT), and 17?-estradiol (E), respectively, during the labile period of gonadal development...LTZ and MT could accelerate gonadal development in sex-reversed genotype-males, whereas E inhibited gonadal development in genotype-females of rock bream. These findings provide a basis for further research on the mechanisms of sex determination and differentiation in fishes with XXY sex chromosome system and provide a sex reversal protocol for rock bream.

Journal: Role of luteinizing hormone elevation in outcomes of ovulation induction with letrozole for polycystic ovary syndrome. (Pubmed Central) - May 5, 2023 Furthermore, the cohort of individuals with normal bLH and high LH levels, exclusive of LH surge, exhibited significantly higher rates of clinical pregnancy (30.3% vs. 17.3%, p?=?0.002) and live birth (24.2% vs. 15.2%, p?=?0.024) than those with normal bLH and normal LH These results indicated that high LH levels in PCOS are not solid evidence of poor prognosis of letrozole-induced ovulation, while elevated LH may be a prospective predictor for better OI outcomes. It seems that preinhibition of LH secretion is not needed.
