چکیده

Failure to respond adequately to standard protocols and to recruit adequate follicles is called 'poor response'. This results in decreased oocyte production, cycle cancellation and, overall, is associated with a significantly diminished probability of pregnancy. It has been shown that ovarian reserve tests, such as basal FSH, antimullarian hormone (AMH), inhibin B, basal estradiol, antral follicular count (AFC), ovarian volume, ovarian vascular flow, ovarian biopsy and multivariate prediction models, have little clinical value in the prediction of a poor response. Although recent evidence points that AMH and AFC may be better than other testsbut they still continue to be used and form the basis for the exclusion of women from fertility treatments. Despite the rigorous efforts made in this regard, a test that could reliably predict poor ovarian response in all clients that undergo IVF is currently lacking.

Evaluation of gene expression of three adrenergic receptors in infertile women with poor ovarian response, candidate for IVF

Background: Most studies show that 9 to 24% of people who are in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles are women who respond poorly to ovarian stimulation. Women with poor ovarian response (POR) are a group of infertile patients whose ovarian reserve, ovarian response to medication, and the quality of ovum are declining. Therefore, the number of female cycles, the number of fetuses from the oocyt...

I-21: The Expression of TLRs in Follicular Cells of Poor Ovarian Responder

Background: One of the most annoying problems in IVF is poor ovarian response. It is anticipated that 5-18% of all IVF cycle are affected by poor response to ovarian hyperstimulation. Poor response to goandotropin may lead to decline in the pool of embryos for transfer or cryoperservation, and decrease pregnancy rates. Different mechanisms explain poor ovarian response for example decreased num...

Evaluation role of beta-2 adrenoceptor agonist and antagonist in the expression of gap junction genes (connexin 37/43) in cumulus cells of women with poor ovarian response

Background: Connexon is a membrane structural protein in the gap junctions. These cellular connections are responsible for transporting ions and messenger molecules to the oocyte. This study aimed to investigate the role of beta-2-adrenoceptors in the process of follicle growth based on the expression of the two connexins 37/43 in the gap junctions that have a primary role in the mitotic resump...

I-27: Management of Poor Responders:Current and Past Recommended Strategy

The management of poor responders in IVF cycles is extremely controversial due to their inadequate response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.. A low ovarian response may be idiopathic or may be associated with many different factors including age, diminished ovarian reserve, endometriosis and prior ovarian surgery, and a reported incidence 9-24% of IVF patients. Several strategies have be...
