What are the hormones fertility? When do I need to check? When is the right time to check? What's the point of each one? 1. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) It is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, and its physiological role is mainly to promote the development and maturation of follicles and secrete estrogen. 2. Luteinizing hormone (LH) It is a glycoprotein hormon...
Thyroid function abnormalities primarily encompass two conditions: Hypothyroidism (commonly referred to as "hypothyroid") and Hyperthyroidism (commonly referred to as "hyperthyroid"). Thyroid function testing plays a vital role in early detection of thyroid diseases and is one of the essential components of a health-up. Thyroid function abnormalities can give rise to various health issues. ...
Coagulation Function vs. Platelet Function Coagulation function and platelet function are both related to blood clotting and hemostasis, but they operate through different mechanisms. In normal circumstances, the body maintains a dynamic balance between the coagulation and anticoagulation systems, which is crucial for preventing abnormal bleeding or thrombus formation. Imbalances in this equilibri...
The bactericidal ability of HBP as well as the heparin-binding ability are related to its strong positive charge. HBP, as a chemotactic substance, can activate monocytes and macrophages, induce vascular leakage and tissue edema. Inactivating HBP blocks endothelial hyperosmocyte hyperpermeability caused by neutrophils. At present, HBP, as an acute phase protein, is an effective biomarker to assess ...
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) are biomarkers of cardiac function, as well as the preferred biomarkers for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of heart failure, disease severity and prognosis assessment, and have been recommended as Level I by several clinical practice guidelines. BNP is mainly degraded in large blood ves...
World Stroke Day is observed on October 29 to underscore the serious nature and high rates of stroke, raise awareness of the prevention and treatment of the condition, and ensure better care and support for survivors. Stroke and platelet function Stroke refers to an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by the sudden rupture of blood vessels in the brain or the sudden interruption of blood flo...
