چکیده

background: the ability of the ovary to respond to exogenous gonadotrophin stimulation and development of several follicles is essential in assisted reproductive technology. neither age and regularity of menses nor follicular phase fsh and estradiol concentrations are reliable predictors of ovarian response. day 3 serum inhibin-b level, during induction ovulation, has been proposed as a predictor of ovarian response. objective: to determine day 3 serum inhibin-b as a predictor of ovarian response to induction ovulation in ivf/ icsi cycles. materials and methods: seventy one infertile patients under 40 years old were enrolled in this study. all women have both ovaries, basal fsh level under 15 miu/ml, and no evidence of endocrine disorders. day 3 fsh, estradiol, inbibin-b concentrations and ovarian volume were measured before treatment. all patients underwent standard long gnrh agonist protocol. the number of oocytes retrieved, fertilization rate, clinical pregnancy rate, days of stimulation and number of hmg ampoules were determined. the patients were divided into two groups, normal responders and poor responders (number of oocytes retrived <4). results: the mean inhibin-b level in normal responders was 166.9 141 pg/ ml versus 115.8 87 pg/ml in poor responders, which the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.24). we could not find a cut off between normal and poor responders. conclusion: the use of day 3 inhibin-b level as a predictive marker of ovarian response in ivf/icsi cycles is not reliable.

Cabergoline versus Coasting in the Prevention of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome and Assisted Reproductive Technologies Outcome in High Risk Patients

Background Coasting is the most common method used in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) acting through vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) reduction. However, the pregnancy rate is reported to fall with coasting when it takes more than three days. Recently lowdose cabergoline, a selective D2 dopamine receptor agonist has been proven to selectively reduce vascular ...

Inhibin A and inhibin B reflect ovarian function in assisted reproduction but are less useful at predicting outcome.

To test the hypothesis that dimeric inhibin A and/or inhibin B concentrations represent improved markers of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome over follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), 78 women who achieved pregnancy within three assisted reproduction treatment cycles were matched to 78 women who underwent at least three assisted reproductive treatment cycles and failed to achieve pregnancy. B...

Control of ovarian function for assisted reproductive technologies in cattle

Although the discovery that follicles in bovine ovaries grow in a wave-like fashion has presented challenges for estrus synchronization and superovulation, recent protocols, designed to control follicular function have permitted fixed-time AI or fixed-time embryo transfer with high pregnancy rates, and the initiation of superstimulatory treatments at a self-appointed time, all without the neces...

Inm-8: Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Genetics

Genetic causes have a considerable involvement in infertility. Well-known examples are some chromosomal translocations or sex-chromosomal abnormalities and Y-chromosome deletions. The most common chromosomal aberrations associated especially with severe oligo- and azoospermia are sex chromosome aneuploidies and chromosomal translocations. Consequently, occurrence of aneuploid embryos will lower...
