Follicular and endocrine dose responses according to anti-Müllerian hormone levels in IVF patients treated with a novel human recombinant FSH (FE 999049) [PDF]
Objective: To study the association between serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and follicular development and endocrine responses induced by increasing doses (5.2-12.1 mu g/day) of a novel recombinant human FSH (rhFSH, FE 999049) in patients ...

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenomas [PDF]
This retrospective study concerns 40 patients with an apparently nonsecretory pituitary adenoma who were operated on during an 11-yr period from 1971 to 1981. Among them, 6 men had elevated serum FSH levels. LH levels were normal in 5 and slightly elevated in 1. Testosterone levels were low in 2 patients and within normal limits in 2 others.

Predictive factors for ovarian response in a corifollitropin alfa/GnRH antagonist protocol for controlled ovarian stimulation in IVF/ICSI cycles [PDF]
Background This secondary analysis aimed to identify predictors of low (<6 oocytes retrieved) and high ovarian response (>18 oocytes retrieved) in IVF patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation with corifollitropin alfa in a gonadotropin-

Ovarian reserve and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in mothers of dizygotic twins [PDF]
This study aimed to explore if natural dizygotic (DZ) twinning is associated with earlier menopause and lower anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) values. We investigated if advanced biological reproductive aging, which can be responsible for the multiple ...

The 'incidentaloma' of the pituitary gland. Is neurosurgery required? [PDF]
We describe a series of 18 patients with an intrasellar mass incidentally discovered by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The average size of the mass was 13 mm, with a range from 5 to 25 mm.

Endocrine predictors of testicular biopsy efficacy in patients with azoospermia
OBJECTIVE. The study identified predictors of endocrine detection of sperm in case of open testicular biopsy in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The research was based on the results of examination and testicular biopsy of

Roles of binding elements, FOXL2 domains, and interactions with cJUN and SMADs in regulation of FSHβ. [PDF]
We previously identified FOXL2 as a critical component in FSHβ gene transcription. Here, we show that mice deficient in FOXL2 have lower levels of gonadotropin gene expression and fewer LH- and FSH-containing cells, but the same level of other pituitary ...

Consequences of twinning induction to Noemi ewes by a recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone compared with pituitary-derived porcine follicle-stimulating hormone on follicular dynamics, maternal biochemical attributes, and neonatal traits [PDF]
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of using recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) compared with pituitary-derived porcine FSH given as one dose or multiple doses on the neonatal traits, follicular dynamics, and

Bioactive follicle-stimulating hormone [PDF]
Abstract Specific and sensitive in vitro bioassays suitable for measurement of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in small quantities of serum and urine have recently been validated. Comparisons of bioassay (B-FSH) potencies with immunoassay (I-FSH) estimates and chromatofocusing patterns have facilitated new discoveries regarding the regulation of ...
