Análisis molecular de la valoración del intervalo de tiempo óptimo entre la administración de acetato de triptorelina y la punción folicular en los t…
2023
Los fármacos análogos de la GnRH y la hCG han demostrado ser igualmente eficaces en la activación de la cascada de intermediarios de la maduración final ovocitaria que ocurre tras el estímulo ovulatorio. Sin embargo, su mecanismo de acción y por tanto los perfiles hormonales hallados tras el estímulo de los dos fármacos son muy diferentes. El tiempo más adecuado para programar la recolección ovocitaria tras la administración de acetato de triptorelina podría no ser 36 horas como ampliamente se ha pautado en los tratamientos de FIV con hCG. Este intervalo de tiempo es sumamente importante para obtener la mayor proporción posible de ovocitos MII porque procesos como el inicio de la luteinizac…
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 +/-…
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.
The type of GnRH analogue used during controlled ovarian stimulation influences early embryo developmental kinetics: a time-lapse study
2013
OBJECTIVE: To explore if the GnRH analogue used for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and the ovulation triggering factor (GnRH agonist + hCG triggering versus GnRH antagonist + GnRH agonist triggering) affect embryo development and kinetics.STUDY DESIGN: In a retrospective cohort study in the Instituto Valenciano de Infertilidad (IVI) Alicante and the Instituto Universitario-IVI Valencia, Spain, 2817 embryos deriving from 400 couples undergoing oocyte donation were analysed. After controlled ovarian stimulation and IVF/intracytoplamic sperm injection, the timing of embryonic cleavages was assessed by a video time-lapse system. The results were analysed using Student's t test for compari…

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…
Treatment of cryptorchidism with a potent analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
1978
Pernasal therapy of cryptorchidism with D-Leu6-des-Gly10-gonadotropin-releasing hormone ethylamide (D-Leu6-des-Gly10-GnRH-EA), a potent, long-acting GnRH analog, was attempted. Eleven prepubertal cryptorchid boys received between 25 microgram once daily and 25 to 50 microgram twice daily for 5 to 12 weeks. Complete testicular descent was achieved in 4 of the 11 boys. GnRH tests (1.5 microgram/kg intravenously), conducted in six boys before treatment, after 4 weeks of treatment, and in 2 boys 3 months after treatment, did not reveal changes in gonadotropin secretion indicative of precocious puberty or of decreased hypophyseal sensitivity to GnRH. Antibodies to the GnRH analog or to GnRH coul…
Efecto de los análogos de la GnRH sobre la expresión de la aromatasa en células de la granulosa de pacientes con endometriosis
2015
La aromatasa juega un papel fundamental en el establecimiento de la calidad ovocitaria, la cual puede estar alterada en las mujeres infértiles con endometriosis. Por otro lado, la administración prolongada de agonistas de GnRH previo a la fecundación in vitro en estas pacientes, ha demostrado que aumentaba la tasa de gestación aproximadamente cuatro veces. En este estudio se ha comparado la expresión del gen CYP19A1 ( que codifica a la aromatasa) en las células de la granulosa mural (CGM) y en las células de cúmulo (CC), los niveles de estradiol, testosterona y androstenediona en el líquido folicular, la calidad ovocitaria y embrionaria, y la tasa de fecundación de pacientes con endometrios…
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% …
