“…Adiponectin signalling was verified in blastocysts grown in vivo from diabetic rabbits with a hyperadiponectinaemia (N ≥ 3 independent experiments, n ≥ 4 samples per treatment group, eight blastocysts pooled per sample). PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: In these blastocysts, expression of molecules involved in adiponectin signalling [adaptor protein 1 (APPL1), AMPK, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38 MAPK)], lipid metabolism [PPARα, cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), fatty acid transport protein 4 (FATP4), fatty acid binding protein (FABP4), carnitine palmityl transferase 1 (CPT1), hormone-senstive lipase (HSL), lipoprotein lipase (LPL)] and members of the insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-system [IGF1, IGF2, insulin receptor (InsR), IGF1 receptor (IGF1R)] were analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR and western blot. …”

“…Quantity of spermatogonia per transverse tubular cross-section (S/T) was assessed in relation to treatment characteristics and normative reference values in histological sections of paraffin embedded testicular tissue samples collected from 32 consecutive boy patients (aged 6.3 ± 3.8 [mean ± SD] years) between 2014 and 2017, as part of the NORDFERTIL study, and in 14 control samples (from boys aged 5.6 ± 5.0 [mean ± SD] years) from an internal biobank. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: Prepubertal boys in Sweden, Finland and Iceland who were facing treatments associated with a very high risk of infertility, were offered the experimental procedure of testicular cryopreservation. …”

“…In total, 1034 premenopausal women (>18 to <42 years of age) undergoing IVF were randomized 1:1 (stratified by country and age group), using an Interactive Web Response System, to receive oral dydrogesterone 30 mg or 8% MVP gel 90 mg daily. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: Subjects received either oral dydrogesterone (n = 520) or MVP gel (n = 514) on the day of oocyte retrieval, and luteal phase support continued until 12 weeks of gestation. …”
