Efficacy and safety of recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer

Comparison of corifollitropin alfa and daily recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone in poor responder patients undergoing in vitro fertilization cycles

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the effect of corifollitropin alfa (CFA) and recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH) in poor-responder patients undergoing antagonist cycles. Materials and Methods The study was a retrospective analysis of the treatment results of 214 poor responder patients who had been admitted to the In Vitro Fertilization Unit of İzmir Medical Park Ho...

Human Menopausal Gonadotropin versus Recombinant FSH in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients Undergoing In Vitro Fertilization

Serum follicle-stimulating hormone inhibition is a marker for preovulatory oocytes in in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

A retrospective analysis was performed on 64 cycles stimulated with human menopausal gonadotrophin and/or pure follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and oestrogen (E2) levels. The increase in serum E2 on the day of HCG administration did not correlate (r = 0.05) with the number of preovulatory oocytes (preovs) or with an increase or decrease in serum FSH (r = 0.31). However, the change in serum FS...

Effects of recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone on embryo development in mice.

We have developed a protocol using recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rhFSH) to induce ovarian stimulation in the mouse to investigate its impact on preimplantation embryo development. Embryos were collected from adult female C57Bl/6 x CBA F1 mice treated with rhFSH (0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, or 20.0 IU) or 5 IU equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG). Embryos were also recovered from nontrea...

O-20: The Combination of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor and Follicular Stimulating Hormone Promotes Human Follicle Development In Vitro Culture

Background Fertility preservation is an important part of scientific study in the field of reproductive medicine. Ovarian cryopreservation and in vitro follicles culture provide option for fertility conservation in older women or cancer patients. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) or FGF-2, is member of fibroblast growth factors family which play critical roles in cell migration proliferatio...
