Patient(s): Twenty-five-year-old patient undergoing IVF treatment for unexplained infertility. Intervention(s): In vitro fertilization with intracytoplasmic sperm injection performed on 50% of oocytes, resulting in successful production of nine early-cleavage embryos. Transfer of two embryos on day 3...
Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation results in elevated levels of estrogen during in vitro fertilization (IVF). Although serum ovarian steroid hormones were found to influence central nervous system and anesthetic requirements, the relationship between propofol requirements and serum estrogen concentration in ...
Researchers in Milan, Italy conducteda study of 335 womenwho were candidates for in vitro fertilization (IVF). Published in the August 14, 2014 issue ofThe Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, the study demonstrated that the women with vitamin D levels of more than 30 ng/mL (75 n...
(hot flashes) andvulvovaginal atrophy. To mitigatemenopausal symptoms, women are treated with HT, which consists of the administration ofsteroid hormones(estrogens and/or progestogens) to restore hormone levels (estrogen: 30–60 pg/mL). Of the hormones used for this therapy, estrogen is the ...
(P0.05).Conclusion The numbers of retrieved oocytes and the doses of gonadotropin are related to the serum E2 level,and the ratio of P/E2 is a valuable index for predicting IVF-ET outcomes.But the serum E2 and P level on the day of HCG administration cannot be used to predict the ...
During in vitro fertilization (IVF) women are exposed to levels of estrogen and progesterone that can be 10 times greater than those present physiologically [47]. Previous studies have demonstrated an increased incidence of melanoma in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) [48,49] ...
There is a functional lab test that I love for looking at reproductive hormones, and it’s called theDutch Complete from Precision Analytical. The Dutch Complete is a dried urine test that gives a much bigger picture of what is going on with hormone levels, including estrogen metabolism, testo...

The cells were cultured with P4 (1 μM) and E2 (10 nM) for 2 days, and the mRNA levels of Myc and of decidualization-related genes were analyzed by RT-qPCR. RNA extraction and RT-qPCR analysis Total RNA was extracted from uterine tissues using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad,...
