Disease relevance of Follicular Cyst

 

High impact information on Follicular Cyst

  • Besides normal hair formation, follicular cysts, misoriented and dysplastic follicles, together with aberrant hair cycling, were also observed in the p107/p130 skin transplants [6].
  • Effects observed include development of dermal follicular cysts, excessive skin wrinkling, enhanced nail growth, alopecia, and spontaneous tumor development [7].
  • Preceding the development of follicular cysts, there is an increase in intraovarian synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF) and the low affinity NGF receptor (p75 NGFR) [8].
  • The steroidal responses of the gland to beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation and hCG were examined in vitro 60 days after EV administration, i.e. at the time when follicular cysts are well established [9].
  • The ability of these cysts to produce 1-2 ng estradiol in medium alone and even greater amounts of estradiol in the presence of exogenous androgen indicates that inhibition of the ability of FSH to induce and stimulate follicular aromatase activity is not a prerequisite for the induction of follicular cysts in these animals [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Follicular Cyst

  • Finally, the increasing ability to accumulate androstenedione in the presence of exogenous testosterone suggests that follicular 17 beta-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase activity increases in response to chronic stimulation by low doses of LH-like activity during the development of follicular cysts [10].
  • The effects of RU486 are reversible: 4 to 5 weeks after the end of treatment ovarian activity seems normal (as evidenced by reduction of ovarian weights and 5-day vaginal cycles) except for the presence of occasional large follicular cysts which may require longer periods for their regression [11].
  • The increase in PRL in the Thio, hCG-stimulated group coincides with formation of follicular cysts [12].
  • Unabated stimulation by low doses of LH-like activity produces ovarian follicular cysts in both progesterone-synchronized immature rats and pregnant rats [13].
  • Perturbation of estradiol-feedback control of luteinizing hormone secretion by immunoneutralization induces development of follicular cysts in cattle [14].

Gene context of Follicular Cyst

  • Women (n = 20) with ovarian endometriomata and 10 women with follicular cysts were enrolled in this study to investigate the role of VEGF and IL-8 in the development and maintenance of ovarian endometriomata [23].
  • The potential role of estrogen receptor-beta (ERbeta) in normal ovarian folliculogenesis and in reproductive disorders such as ovarian follicular cysts has not been well defined [24].
  • Dominant bovine ovarian follicular cysts express increased levels of messenger RNAs for luteinizing hormone receptor and 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase delta(4),delta(5) isomerase compared to normal dominant follicles [25].
  • Numerous keratin-filled follicular cysts develop over extensive areas of the skin, usually between the age of 2 and 26 years [26].
  • However, the ovaries from the cases demonstrated a significantly greater number of follicular cysts with staining for StAR immunoreactivity in the thecal cells than did the ovaries from healthy women (100% vs 38%, P <.05) [27].
