Ciclos de fecundación in vitro y maduración final con agonista GNRH: Explorando dosis bajas de HCG para soporte de fase lutea

2010

La hormona gonadotropina coriónica humana (hCG) se emplea de forma rutinaria para inducir la maduración final ovocitaria en ciclos de fecundación in vitro (FIV). Sin embargo, su utilización está relacionada con la aparición del Síndrome de Hiperestimulación Ovárica (SHO), especialmente cuando ciertos factores de riesgo están presentes, principalmente la presencia de un número elevado de folículos. Este riesgo puede ser drásticamente disminuido sustituyendo la hCG por un agonista GnRH como inductor de la maduración final en ciclos FIV con antagonistas GnRH. Aunque, este uso se asocia a una alta tasa de aborto temprano ocasionada por una fase lútea deficiente. La función del cuerpo lúteo se v…

Impact of luteinizing hormone administration on gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist cycles: an age-adjusted analysis

2011

Objective: To analyze the impact of LH administration on cycle outcome in ovarian stimulation with GnRH antagonists. Design: Randomized, open-label, controlled trial performed in two age subgroups. Recombinant (r) FSH versus rFSH + rLH administration was compared. Setting: University-affiliated private infertility clinic. Patient(s): Up to 35 years old (n = 380) and aged 36 to 39 years (n = 340), undergoing their first or second IVF cycle. Intervention(s): Recombinant LH administration since stimulation day 1. Main Outcome Measure(s): Implantation rate, ongoing pregnancy rate. Result(s): In the young population, implantation rates were similar: 27.8% versus 28.6%, odds ratio (OR) 1.03 (95% …

Effects of resistance training on testosterone metabolism in younger and older men

2015

This study investigated the effects of resistance training (RT) on the metabolism of testosterone (T) in younger (n=5, 28±3yrs.) and older (n=8, 70±2yrs.) men. Experimental heavy resistance exercises (5×10RM leg presses) were performed before and after a 12-month of RT. No age differences were found in the production or metabolic clearance rate of T (determined by stable isotope dilution method), skeletal muscle androgen receptor content or serum LH concentrations due to acute or chronic RT. The T production capacity response to gonadotropin stimulation and the concentrations of the urinary T metabolites (androsterone and etiocholanolone) were lower in the older compared to younger men (p<0…

Testosterone-Lowering Medication and Its Association With Recidivism Risk in Individuals Convicted of Sexual Offenses

2020

For a particular subgroup of individuals with severe paraphilic disorders and a high risk of sexual recidivism, the combination of sex drive–reducing medications and psychotherapy is a promising treatment approach. The present quasi-experimental study aims at comparing differences in clinical characteristics and dynamic risk factors between persons receiving (+TLM, n = 38) versus not receiving (−TLM, n = 22) testosterone-lowering medications (TLMs). Individuals receiving TLM were more frequently diagnosed with paraphilic disorders. Neither the criminal history nor average risk scores differed between the two groups. In the +TLM, Stable-2007 scores showed a stronger decrease after TLM treat…

Cycle scheduling for in vitro fertilization with oral contraceptive pills versus oral estradiol valerate: a randomized, controlled trial

2013

Abstract Background Both oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) and estradiol (E2) valerate have been used to schedule gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles and, consequently, laboratory activities. However, there are no studies comparing treatment outcomes directly between these two pretreatment methods. This randomized controlled trial was aimed at finding differences in ongoing pregnancy rates between GnRH antagonist IVF cycles scheduled with OCPs or E2 valerate. Methods Between January and May 2012, one hundred consecutive patients (nonobese, regularly cycling women 18–38 years with normal day 3 hormone levels and &lt;3 previous IVF/ICSI attempts)…

GnRH Analogues in the Prevention of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome

2012

The GnRH analogue (agonist and antagonist GnRH) changed ovarian stimulation. On the one hand, it improved chances of pregnancy to obtain more oocytes and better embryos. This leads to an ovarian hyper-response, which can be complicated by the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). On the other hand, the GnRH analogue can prevent the incidence of OHSS: GnRH antagonist protocols, GnRH agonist for triggering final oocyte maturation, either together or separately, coasting, and the GnRH analogue may prove useful for avoiding OHSS in high-risk patients. We review these topics in this article.

Hypogonadism in β-thalassemic adolescents: A characteristic pituitary-gonadal impairment. The ineffectiveness of long-term iron chelation therapy

1990

The pituitary-gonadal function was studied in 18 beta-thalassemic female adolescents, 8 with delayed puberty and 10 with primary amenorrhea,treated with repeated transfusions and long-term iron chelation therapy by subcutaneous infusion. A 100 micrograms gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) test, a double-bolus GnRH test after estradiol administration in non-responders, a 400 micrograms thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) test and a 'high dose' human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) test were performed. LH and FSH peak levels were significantly lower in thalassemic patients than in controls, both in the 100 micrograms GnRH test (LH was 4.3 +/- 0.7 mIU/ml vs 40.8 +/- 6.0 mIU/ml and FSH 3.3 +/-…

Uso de antagonistas de la hormona liberadora de gonadotrofinas (GnRH) en la preparación endometrial de las receptoras de ovocitos

2015

INTRODUCCIÓN: La donación de ovocitos está bien establecida como técnica de reproducción asistida y ofrece la oportunidad única de tratar a mujeres con diferentes entidades clínicas, tanto con función ovárica como sin ella. En las pacientes con función ovárica conservada, se utilizan análogos de la GnRH (a-GnRH) para provocar una supresión hipofisaria, lo que permite conseguir una sincronización entre la donante y la receptora, evitando picos ovulatorios espontáneos que abrirían la ventana de implantación de la receptora en asincronía con la donante. OBJETIVO: El objetivo principal del estudio fue comparar los resultados obtenidos con el empleo de antagonistas de la GnRH (ant-GnRH) en la si…
