Plasma DHEAS levels were followed in 10 anovulatory patients, treated with 50 mg clomiphene citrate from the 5th to the 9th day of menstruation as well as 6 ovulatory women, who were taken as controls. A serum progesterone level of 13 nmol/l or more in the luteal phase was found in both, the treatment and the control group. This was considered to be a strong indication, that ovulation had occurred. A significant preovulatory increase in DHEAS levels was found neither in the treatment nor in the control group. A negative influence of DHEAS on the ripening of the follicles due to a single dose of 50 mg of clomiphene during 5 days of menstruation seems unlikely.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010060 Ovulation The discharge of an OVUM from a rupturing follicle in the OVARY. Ovulations
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS. Pregnenedione,Progesterone, (13 alpha,17 alpha)-(+-)-Isomer,Progesterone, (17 alpha)-Isomer,Progesterone, (9 beta,10 alpha)-Isomer
D002996 Clomiphene A triphenyl ethylene stilbene derivative which is an estrogen agonist or antagonist depending on the target tissue. Note that ENCLOMIPHENE and ZUCLOMIPHENE are the (E) and (Z) isomers of Clomiphene respectively. Chloramiphene,Clomifene,Clomid,Clomide,Clomifen,Clomiphene Citrate,Clomiphene Hydrochloride,Clostilbegit,Dyneric,Gravosan,Klostilbegit,Serophene,Citrate, Clomiphene,Hydrochloride, Clomiphene
D003687 Dehydroepiandrosterone A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.
