Follicular fluid Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) could be a predictor for pregnancy outcome in normo-responders and polycystic ovary syndrome women undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment cycles
“…This protein is expressed and secreted by the human ovary and plays an important part in the physiological regulation of ovarian angiogenesis. Furthermore, VEGF has a key role in the hypervascularity of the ovarian theca interna and stroma as a clinical feature of PCOS …”

“…The marked increase of VEGF levels among patients with PCOS in the present study was supported by a systemic review that concluded VEGF has a strategic role in the pathophysiology of PCOS. The current finding were also in agreement with a study by Kudsy et al . that demonstrated that patients with PCOS had higher serum VEGF levels than control individuals ( P ˂0.001); however, no statistically significant correlation was found with any of the PCOS‐related parameters.…”

“…Согласно исследованиям in vitro, FGF-10 сопровождает рост фолликула от примордиального до первичного [17]. Для роста и развития фолликулов большое значение имеет перифолликулярное кровоснабжение, которое формируется при непосредственном участии фактора роста эндотелия сосудов (VEGF), продуцируемого клетками гранулезы и теки [18]. Как следует из работ R. Wu и соавт.…”

“…В работе F. Kawasaki и соавт. [43] показано, что уровень IL-6 в ФЖ зрелых фолликулов значительно выше, чем в ФЖ незрелых фолли- [18] кулов. Но высокая концентрация IL-6 неблагоприятно влияет на качество ооцитов и эмбрионов, увеличивает частоту отрицательных исходов ЭКО, провоцирует развитие синдрома гиперстимуляции яичников [26].…”

“…Негативный эффект IL-8 и IL-18 связан с возникновением серьезного осложнения цикла ЭКО -синдромом гиперстимуляции яичников [46,48]. Развитие синдрома гиперстимуляции яичников также ассоциировано с повышенным содержанием VEGF в ФЖ [18]. Высокий уровень VEGF связывают с плохим оплодотворением и преждевременной лютеинизацией [48].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
