Initial analysis of variability among basal hormone biomarkers of ovarian reserve

Biomarkers of Ovarian Reserve

The primary function of the female ovary is the production of a mature and viable oocyte capable of fertilization and subsequent embryo development and implantation. At birth, the ovary contains a finite number of oocytes available for folliculogenesis. This finite number of available oocytes is termed "the ovarian reserve". The determination of ovarian reserve is important in the assessment an...

reliable range of basal fsh for prediction of ovarian reserve

objective: basal fsh levels reflect ovarian response and more formed embryos. we investigated a reliable fsh range to retrieve more oocytes and embryos. materials and methods: two hundred patients in art cycles underwent this study from apr 2007 to sep 2008. patients were divided in three groups based on value of fsh: group a≤8 iu/ml, 8 iu/ml < group b≤10 iu/ml, group c>10 iu/ml and results of ...

Evaluation of Ovarian Reserve by Measurement of the Serum Levels of Anti-Mullerian Hormone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles

Background It is important to evaluate ovarian reserves prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) as a marker for ovarian reserve and to compare it with day-3 serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels. MaterialsAndMethods In this analytic, corss-sectional study, sequential sampling was don...

woman-defined identity: analysis of selected poems of adrienne rich

the current thesis is composed in five chapters in the following fashion: chapter two encompasses the applied framework of the project in details; the methodology of carl gustav jung to explain the process of individuation, the major archetypes and their attributes and his techniques to assess the mind’s strata are all explained. moreover, the austrian psychoanalysts, heinz kohut’s models of a...
