Review, Journal: A Review on the Use of Letrozole in Female and Male Infertility. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2022 According to the most recent research, letrozole can be used as the first-line therapy to treat infertility caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome and other causes. Letrozole is also emerging as a possible treatment for male infertility of unknown cause, proving to be an effective way of influencing hormonal profiles and increasing various seminal parameters such as sperm motility and concentration, as it inhibits aromatization affecting the feedback mechanism to the hypothalamus. This review focuses on our current knowledge of the uses of letrozole for female and male infertility, its mechanisms, and its benefits.

Clinical, Journal, HEOR: Health-related quality of life in boys with constitutional delay of growth and puberty. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2022 P2/3 In terms of HRQoL, the main impact of delayed puberty was dissatisfaction with physical appearance. Puberty promoting therapy was associated with a positive change in perceived appearance, with no clear difference between low-dose testosterone and letrozole treatments.

Preclinical, Journal: Kelulut Honey Regulates Sex Steroid Receptors in a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Rat Model. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 12, 2022 The study used female Sprague-Dawley rats, which were treated orally with 1 mg/kg/day of letrozole for 21 days to develop PCOS...Hence, this study confirms the aberrant expression of sex steroid receptors in PCOS and demonstrates that KH treatment could normalise the sex steroid receptors profile. The findings provide a basis for future clinical trials to utilize KH as a regulator of sex steroid receptors in patients with PCOS.

Preclinical, Journal: Decoding the molecular cascade of embryonic-uterine modulators in pregnancy loss of PCOS mother- an "in vivo" study. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 9, 2022 Asafoetida appears to act by regulating and activating metabolic and ovarian cycle enzymes. Our results reveal that majority of the molecular markers alteration in the establishment of early pregnancy could be due to the aberrant progesterone signaling in the embryonic-uterine tissue of PCOS animals, which further translates into poor fetal outcomes as observed in the current study and in several IVF patients.

Retrospective data, Journal: The earlier the initiation of gonadotropin in poor responders in luteal phase stimulation protocols, the better. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 6, 2022 HMG and letrozole were administrated after ovulation...Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in the mean number of oocytes, utilizable embryos, pregnancy outcomes among three groups. Although the timing of gonadotropin initiation is not associated with pregnancy outcomes, earlier initiation of gonadotropin therapy after ovulation was associated with a shorter duration of ovarian stimulation and lower gonadotropin consumption in poor responders in LPS.

Journal: Probability of Pregnancy With Mono vs Multiple Folliculogenesis in Women With Unexplained Infertility. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 1, 2022 When stratified by treatment modality, no association of follicle number with CPR or LBR was observed for letrozole or clomiphene, but women using gonadotropins had lower CPR and LBR with monofolliculogenesis. In couples undergoing gonadotropin treatment for UI, monofolliculogenesis following OS is related to a lower rate of live birth.

Journal: Agent-Based Models Help Interpret Patterns of Clinical Drug Resistance by Contextualizing Competition Between Distinct Drug Failure Modes. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 30, 2022 The degree of resistance conferred by cancer associated fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment was quantified by treating mono- and co-cultures with letrozole and then measuring the death rates...Our model results demonstrate that spatial effects can interact with low magnitude of resistance microenvironmental effects to successfully compete against genetic resistance that is orders of magnitude larger. Clinical outcomes of solid tumors are intrinsically connected to their spatial structure, and the tractability of spatial agent-based models like the ones presented here enable us to understand this relationship more completely.

Journal: Modified Cangfu Daotan decoction ameliorates polycystic ovary syndrome with insulin resistance via NF-κB/LCN-2 signaling pathway in inflammatory microenvironment. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 29, 2022 We used a high-fat diet (42 days) combined with letrozole (1 mg/kg/day, 42 days) to establish a PCOS-IR rat model...Our results showed that MCDD could reduce body weight and abdominal fat weight; restore normal estrous cycle and ovarian function; alleviate fatty liver; regulate HOMA-IR and OGTT index; reduce serum inflammatory factor levels, LCN-2 level, and gene expression; and regulate the insulin signal transduction and NF-κB pathways in PCOS-IR rats. Thus, MCDD may play a role in improving ovarian function in PCOS-IR rats by downregulating NF-κB/LCN-2 proteins and upregulating the gene expression of Insr/Irs-1/Glut4 in the insulin signaling pathway in the inflammatory environment.

Journal: Letrozole treatment alters hippocampal gene expression in common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus). (Pubmed Central) - Nov 27, 2022 Based on the transcriptional changes observed, we conclude that AIs may differentially affect the sexes in part due to processes mediated by the CYP-450 superfamily. Ongoing studies will further investigate the longitudinal effects of AIs on behavior and whether AIs increase the risk of stress-induced neurodegeneration.

Abemaciclib for treating patients with HR+, HER2- advanced/metastatic breast cancer in Spain: a real-world study (Exhibition Hall) - Nov 23, 2022 - Abstract #EBCC2022EBCC_366; Abemaciclib, used in different lines of treatment and mostly in combination with AIs or fulvestrant, in a real-world setting in patients with HR+, HER2- ABC/MBC in Spain, was associated with a median PFS of 21.5 months and complete or partial response of 42.8%. These data are comparable to data from clinical trials supporting the benefit of abemaciclib for patients with HR+, HER2- ABC/MBC.
