“…This results in a rapid increase in follicular cortisol just before follicular rupture (Harlow et al 1997). The physiological importance of this event is not clear but it may enhance oocyte maturation (Fateh et al 1989, Michael et al 1999 or prevent excess inflammation caused by ovulation (Hillier & Tetsuka 1998). In the present study, however, all follicles were collected before the gonadotrophin surge and thus the presence of a similar mechanism in the bovine preovulatory follicles is still to be clarified.…”

“…The physiological importance of this phenomenon is not clear. It is suggested, however, that the increased level of cortisol may enhance oocyte maturation (Fateh et al 1989, Michael et al 1999 or suppress inflammation associated with ovulation, thereby promoting rapid healing of the wound left by follicular rupture (Hillier & Tetsuka 1998). In pregnant rat corpora lutea (CL), the expression of 11HSD2 was shown to be dramatically up-regulated, which was coincident with the rise in circulating glucocorticoid just prior to parturition (Waddell et al 1996).…”

“…The mean age of the participants was 32.9 years. Sample sizes of the included studies ranged from 14 to 387 participants, with many of the published studies lacking statistical power or failing to report power calculations ([0.80 with an alpha of 0.05) [6,7,13,14,[20][21][22]. Nine of the reviewed studies included patients with a range of infertility diagnoses (e.g.…”

“…Two studies measured cortisol during the down regulation phase only [16,18]; six studies measured cortisol during the oocyte retrieval phase only [8,10,13,15,20,22], whilst one study measured cortisol solely during embryo transfer [21]. Seven studies assessed cortisol over multiple stages of the treatment cycle [6,7,9,11,14,17,23].…”
