24-h echographic profile study on follicular growth prior to laparoscopic aspiration of the graafian follicle in clomiphene citrate/human chorionic gonadotrophin-stimulated cycles. 1986

R A Leerentveld, and J W Wladimiroff

Follicular growth in the last 24 h preceding laparoscopic oocyte pick-up for in vitro fertilization purposes was studied in 46 clomiphene citrate/human chorionic gonadotrophin-stimulated cycles by means of real-time sector ultrasound. A linear increase in mean follicular diameter of 2.5 mm was established. Growth rates under monofollicular and multifollicular conditions did not differ significantly. However, the absolute dimensions of the dominant follicle in the multifollicular subgroup exceeded those observed in the monofollicular subgroup (P less than 0.01) for each observation point. A fixed CC/hCG treatment scheme results in a wide range of ultimate preovulatory follicular dimensions, without any correlation between the individual follicular size and growth rate values (r = 0.075).

D005498 Follicular Phase The period of the MENSTRUAL CYCLE representing follicular growth, increase in ovarian estrogen (ESTROGENS) production, and epithelial proliferation of the ENDOMETRIUM. Follicular phase begins with the onset of MENSTRUATION and ends with OVULATION.

D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).

D006080 Ovarian Follicle An OOCYTE-containing structure in the cortex of the OVARY. The oocyte is enclosed by a layer of GRANULOSA CELLS providing a nourishing microenvironment (FOLLICULAR FLUID). The number and size of follicles vary depending on the age and reproductive state of the female. The growing follicles are divided into five stages: primary, secondary, tertiary, Graafian, and atretic. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis depend on the presence of GONADOTROPINS.
