We determined follicular fluid concentrations of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, IGF-II and inhibin as a function of day 3 serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in 16 women undergoing follicular fluid aspiration in preparation for in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Follicular fluid concentrations of IGF-I and IGF-II were significantly less in the 'low' FSH group as compared to the 'high' FSH group. The mean IGF-I concentration was 67.6 ng/ml [confidence intervals (CI) 51.6-92.5] in the 'low' FSH group compared to 87.1 ng/ml (CI 72.8-104.2; P < 0.025) in the 'high' FSH group. Mean IGF-II concentrations were 354.8 ng/ml (CI 297.8-422.9) in the 'low' FSH group compared to 489.8 ng/ml (CI 384.6-624.5; P < 0.05) in the 'high' FSH group. Follicular fluid inhibin concentrations did not differ between groups. These differences in follicular fluid IGF as a function of day 3 FSH may raise questions regarding the role growth factors play in the physiological processes of the ageing follicle.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007265 Inhibins Glycoproteins that inhibit pituitary FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE secretion. Inhibins are secreted by the Sertoli cells of the testes, the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles, the placenta, and other tissues. Inhibins and ACTIVINS are modulators of FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE secretions; both groups belong to the TGF-beta superfamily, as the TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR BETA. Inhibins consist of a disulfide-linked heterodimer with a unique alpha linked to either a beta A or a beta B subunit to form inhibin A or inhibin B, respectively Female Inhibin,Inhibin,Inhibin-F,Inhibins, Female,Inhibins, Testicular,Ovarian Inhibin,Testicular Inhibin,Female Inhibins,Inhibin F,Inhibin, Female,Inhibin, Ovarian,Inhibin, Testicular,Testicular Inhibins
D007334 Insulin-Like Growth Factor I A well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on GROWTH HORMONE. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR II, which is a major fetal growth factor.

D007335 Insulin-Like Growth Factor II A well-characterized neutral peptide believed to be secreted by the LIVER and to circulate in the BLOOD. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like and mitogenic activities. The growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on SOMATOTROPIN. It is believed to be a major fetal growth factor in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR I, which is a major growth factor in adults.

D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
