"Timing" of ovulation by laparoscopy and evaluation of some physico-chemical parameters. 1976

N Garcea, and A Caruso, and A Montemurro, and A Bompiani

The Authors describe the laparoscopic aspects of spontaneous human ovulation and correlate it with the evaluation of basal body temperature, the total urinary oestrogens, pregnanediol and urinary LH and some hematic values of 17-beta-estradiol, 17-alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone and rogesterone. They find that the rise in temperature and the oestrogenuria peak precede ovulation by some hours in the great ovulation by sompe hours in the great majority of cases. They analyze the validity of the other parameters studied, and show a relatively constant behavior, with regard to ovulation, in the mean evaluation of several cases. In the individual analysis, on the contrary, this relation is difficult to find and less significant. The Authors stress the importance of comparing the physico-chemical evaluations with the biological phenomenon of ovulation directly ascertained by means of laparoscopy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010060 Ovulation The discharge of an OVUM from a rupturing follicle in the OVARY. Ovulations
D010061 Ovulation Detection Method to determine the occurrence of OVULATION by direct or indirect means. Indirect methods examine the effects of PROGESTERONE on cervical mucus (CERVIX MUCUS), or basal body temperature. Direct ovulation detection, generally used in fertility treatment, involves analyses of circulating hormones in blood and ULTRASONOGRAPHY.

D010535 Laparoscopy A procedure in which a laparoscope (LAPAROSCOPES) is inserted through a small incision near the navel to examine the abdominal and pelvic organs in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. If appropriate, biopsy or surgery can be performed during laparoscopy.

D011276 Pregnanediol An inactive metabolite of PROGESTERONE by reduction at C5, C3, and C20 position. Pregnanediol has two hydroxyl groups, at 3-alpha and 20-alpha. It is detectable in URINE after OVULATION and is found in great quantities in the pregnancy urine.

D003338 Corpus Luteum The yellow body derived from the ruptured OVARIAN FOLLICLE after OVULATION. The process of corpus luteum formation, LUTEINIZATION, is regulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE. Corpora Lutea,Lutea, Corpora
D004967 Estrogens Compounds that interact with ESTROGEN RECEPTORS in target tissues to bring about the effects similar to those of ESTRADIOL. Estrogens stimulate the female reproductive organs, and the development of secondary female SEX CHARACTERISTICS. Estrogenic chemicals include natural, synthetic, steroidal, or non-steroidal compounds.

D005260 Female Females
D006080 Ovarian Follicle An OOCYTE-containing structure in the cortex of the OVARY. The oocyte is enclosed by a layer of GRANULOSA CELLS providing a nourishing microenvironment (FOLLICULAR FLUID). The number and size of follicles vary depending on the age and reproductive state of the female. The growing follicles are divided into five stages: primary, secondary, tertiary, Graafian, and atretic. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis depend on the presence of GONADOTROPINS.
