Role of nitric oxide in the biology, physiology and pathophysiology of reproduction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:It has been hypothesized that certain obstetrical populations, including women who conceive using assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and women with multiple births, may be at increased risk for postpartum depression. In this systematic literature review, we examine the published evidence for this hypot...
