Kin, Gene, Community
Israel is the only country in the world that offers free fertility treatments to nearly any woman who requires medical assistance. It also has the world's highest per capita usage of in-vitro fertilization. Examining state policies and the application of reproductive technologies among Jewish Israelis, this volume explores the role of tradition and politics in the construction of families within local Jewish populations. The contributors—anthropologists, bioethicists, jurists, physicians and biologists—highlight the complexities surrounding these treatments and show how biological relatedness is being construed as a technology of power; how genetics is woven into the production of identities; how reproductive technologies enhance the policing of boundaries. Donor insemination, IVF and surrogacy, as well as abortion, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and human embryonic stem cell research, are explored within local and global contexts to convey an informed perspective on the wider Jewish Israeli environment.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone: Fertility and Beyond
Propagating life to the next generation is a hormone-dependent process relying on the individual wish to generate own progeny and resulting in maintenance of species. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a key reproductive hormone in vertebrates used as a drug in the treatment of human infertility and hypogonadism. The FSH-FSH receptor system began to be characterized in its essential functioning mechanism only in the last couple of decades, i.e. long after the clinical use of the hormone. Some novel, intriguing aspects of FSH function are now emerging, This eBook contains the most recent scientific advances about FSH and its receptor, contributed by the world leaders of the field.

Pharmacology of Hormonal Polypeptides and Proteins
It can be concluded (under the specific experimental procedures em ployed) that:- 1) HCG labelled with 1 - 2 atoms of radioactive iodine did not differ sig nificantly from the unlabelled hormone; 2) The ovary alone exhibited a capacity to affix specifically HCG; 3) The amount of radioactive material in the ovary was directly proport ional to the quantity of labelled HCG injected; 4) When the HCG present in the circulation is bound to an antiserum to HCG, the antigen-antibody complex is not concentrated by the ovary; 5) Circulating labelled HCG decreased to 50% within 30 minutes following a single intravenous injection; 6) There are four different phases of ovarian uptake of HCG, namely: the ...
