Differential Regulation of VEGF, Cadherin and Angiopietin 2 by Trigger Oocyte Maturation With GnRHa vs hCG in Donors: Try to Explain the Lower OHSS Incidence
In Brief
An observational study for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Overexpression. Completed, enrolled 96 participants.
Detailed Summary
Introduction OHSS still remains a complication of assisted reproduction treatments. hCG administration to trigger final oocyte maturation will release vascular mediators, being VEGF and other proteins such as VE-Cadherin or Angiopoietin- 2. It has been shown that replacing hCG by GnRH agonists will induce a very short endogenous LH peak, potent enough to induce final oocyte maturation but no OHSS will develop. The investigators examined VEGF, VE-Cadherin and Angiopoietin-2 modulation by hCG as well as GnRH agonists in oocyte donors undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation.
