Record 1 2025-08-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Reproduction (Medicine)
  • The Genitals
DEF

A condition that occurs at an earlier age than 40 in which many periods in a row are skipped or there are no periods at all, which can be a sign of menopause or of very few eggs left in the ovaries.

OBS

POI differs from premature menopause in that ovarian activity may resume.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Reproduction (Médecine)
  • Organes génitaux
CONT

L'insuffisance ovarienne primitive (IOP) est définie par la survenue précoce de l'épuisement de la fonction ovarienne. Elle concerne 1 % des femmes à l'âge de 40 ans et 0,1 % à l'âge de 30 ans. Il s'agit donc là d'un diagnostic rare mais non exceptionnel, dont la symptomatologie clinique est tout à fait identique à celle observée au cours d'une ménopause naturelle, à savoir, une aménorrhée associée à une élévation de la FSH [hormone folliculo-stimulante] et un effondrement de l'imprégnation estrogénique.

Record 2 2018-03-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Poultry Production
CONT

A study was conducted examining the rates of development of components of the reproductive tract during sexual maturation in a flock of naturally mating Bronze turkeys. Birds were processed at 7-d intervals beginning at photostimulation(29. 5 wk of age), for the following 5 wk, and following their first oviposition. The relatively low BW of this strain(6. 6 kg) was associated with a very low lipid content(16. 4%), abdominal fat pad weight(107 g), and breast muscle weight(1. 15 kg). At sexual maturity the ovary contained 12. 2 large yellow follicles with 1. 4 unreconciled POF(the remnant of the site of ovulation). The presence of unreconciled POF suggest that this may be a natural phenomenon in turkeys and not limited to modern fast growing strains.
