Is increased androgen receptor expression in serous carcinoma of the ovary associated with an improved survival?
AR expression is considerably reduced in EOC as compared to fallopian tubes, and in EOC of the serous subtype, high AR expression is a favourable prognostic factor. These results indicate that assessment of AR expression might be of value for treatment stratification of EOC patients with serous ovarian carcinoma.
PAF content in capacitated-induced sperm has a significant and positive relationship with fertilization potential. Fertilization potential may be predicted by measuring PAF levels in capacitation-induced human sperm. Determining PAF content in capacitated human sperm may be a beneficial diagnostic tool for the infertility specialist.
