Abstract: Abstract In animal models, exposure to excess testosterone during gestation induces polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-like reproductive and metabolic traits in female offspring, suggesting that the hyperandrogenemic intrauterine environment may have a role in the etiology… read more here.

DOI: 10.5455/ovj.2023.v13.i2.9
Abstract: Background The epiphysis cerebri (pineal gland) is a small-sized, photo neuroendocrine organ in the brain of most vertebrates. Their effect is through secretion of melatonin, a serotonin-derived hormone which is stimulated by darkness and inhibited… read more here.
