Continuous follicle-stimulating hormone exposure from pituitary adenoma causes periodic follicle recruitment and atresia, which mimics ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
CONTEXT Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-secreting pituitary adenoma is usually a nonfunctioning tumor, but in rare cases it may develop into ovarian hyperstimulation. Several reports have revealed that serum FSH levels are normal to slightly high in patients with combined FSH-secreting pituitary adenoma with ovarian hyperstimulation. This finding is different from iatrogenic ovarian hypersti...
متن کاملRoles of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.
With the advent of recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), free from contamination with each other (Loumaye et al., 1995), it is possible to dissect the individual contributions of FSH and LH to the regulation of ovarian function and to define optimal gonadotrophin usage in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) (Hillier, 1994). Basic and clinical researc...
متن کاملRecombinant follicle-stimulating hormone in the treatment of patients with history of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
OBJECTIVE To compare the low-dose recombinant FSH and hMG protocols in treatment of patients with history of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). DESIGN A prospective study on 22 patients with history of severe OHSS. Group A (n = 14) was treated with low-dose recombinant FSH 40 cycles and group B (n = 8) was treated with low-dose hMG in 26 cycles. SETTING The Egyptian IVF-ET Cen...
متن کاملPhysicochemical Characterization of Pituitary Follicle-stimulating Hormone
The physiochemical characteristics of the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from whole sheep pituitary glands have been studied. The hormone behaves as a single protein in electrophoresis, diffusion, and ultracentrifugation. It has an isoelectric point at pH 4.5 and a molecular weight of 67,000 and contains 1.23 per cent hexose and 1.51 per cent hexosamine. The amino acid composition has also ...
متن کاملPregnancy complicated by spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and hyperthyroidism
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is potentially life-threatening complication associated with ovarian induction. OHSS is a very rare event in spontaneous pregnancies, most often in situations of multiple or molar gestations, hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome. We describe a patient with naturally conceived pregnancy associated with spontaneous OHSS complicated by hyperthyroidis...
