I-36: The Role of LH in Controlled Ovarian Stimulation

It is known that the follicular selection and final stages of follicular maturation are equal if not more dependent on low circulating levels of LH.In addition to stimulating production of thecal androgens as substrate for estrogen synthesis, LH stimulates granulose cell via LH receptors induced by FSH and estrogen in larger but not smaller follicles. The data from numerous assisted reproductio...

I-32: Avoiding OHSS in Ovarian Stimulation

Multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) are the most serious complications of ovarian stimulation and IVF. Indeed, they are more or less the only ones. OHSS can effectively be prevented in three stages: Before stimulation, during stimulation and at ET. Before stimulation patients should be assessed as to age, the ovarian follicular count and/or anti mullerian hormone ...

Stimulation and growth of antral ovarian follicles by selective LH activity administration in women.

Intensive FSH stimulation is a key tool of assisted reproduction technology but can cause severe complications through the development of an excessive number of small ovarian follicles. We tested the hypothesis that, in the late stages of ovulation induction, LH activity in the form of low-dose human CG (hCG) can stimulate and selectively modulate ovarian follicle function and growth, independe...

Dietary Lipid and Cholesterol Induce Ovarian Dysfunction and Abnormal LH Response to Stimulation in Rabbits

BACKGROUND/AIM Excess of fat intake is dramatically increasing in women of childbearing age and results in numerous health complications, including reproductive disorders. Using rabbit does as a biomedical model, the aim of this study was to evaluate onset of puberty, endocrine responses to stimulation and ovarian follicular maturation in females fed a high fat high cholesterol diet (HH diet) f...
