Follicular Fluid or Serum Level of Inhibin-B: Which One is an Effective Marker of Follicular Development in IVF Patients?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Materials and Methods: This prospective study was performed on 70 patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and followed by the IVF Department between February 2009-June 2009. Age, body mass index (BMI), basal levels of folliclestimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), ovarian volume, and number of antral follicles were compared between the good responders and poor responders. Blood samples of inhibin-B were collected before the treatment, on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration, and on the day of oocyte pick-up. Follicular fluid samples were obtained from dominant follicles during oocyte retrieval. These parameters and characteristics of the cycles were compared between the good responders and poor responders.

Background: M-CSF is a cytokine mediating the growth, proliferation and differentiation of various cell types including macrophages, trophoblast cells, and osteoclasts. It plays an important role in immunity reproduction, follicle development and ovulation. In the present study, we describe the important role of the changes in serum M-CSF levels during the menstrual cycle, in the process of fol...

Background: Assessment of AMH cut-off levels in serum and in follicle fluid (FF) for patients with (group 2, n=34) and without (group1, n= 96) endocrinological risk factors, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is clinically useful in optimising the treatment protocol. Materials and Methods: AMH was analysed in serum and FF of 130 infertile pati...

BACKGROUND Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is a severe health complication observed in some patients undergoing hormonal stimulation during IVF. Presence of OHSS is often associated with a high count of growing follicles responding to FSH hyperstimulation. However, the number of responding follicles may not be sufficient enough to predict the onset and severity of OHSS. The aim of this...
