Recombinant follicle stimulating hormone

Meta-analysis on recombinant versus urinary follicle stimulating hormone.

A recent meta-analysis (Daya and Gunby, 1999) on recombin-ant versus urinary follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH versus uFSH) deserves methodological comment. The a priori definition of eligibility criteria for studies to be included in a meta-analysis are central and must be systematic. It was up to the authors to decide whether their search would be extended to include all unpublished studies,...

Follicle-stimulating hormone

Bioactive Follicle-Stimulating Hormone

Specific and sensitive in vitro bioassays suitable for measurement of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in small quantities of serum and urine have recently been validated. Comparisons of bioassay (B-FSH) potencies with immunoassay (I-FSH) estimates and chromatofocusing patterns have facilitated new discoveries regarding the regulation of FSH biosynthesis, storage, secretion, serum concentrati...

The Correlations of Anti-Mullerian Hormone, Follicle-Stimulating Hormone and Antral Follicle Count in Different Age Groups of Infertile Women

Age-Specific Serum Anti-Mullerian Hormone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone Concentrations in Infertile Iranian Women

Background Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted by the granulosa cells of growing follicles during the primary to large antral follicle stages. Abnormal levels of AMH and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) may indicate a woman’s diminished ability or inability to conceive. Our aim is to investigate the changes in serum AMH and FSH concentrations at different age groups and its correlation w...
