Table III.
Intrafollicular levels of AMH and VEGF in antral and dominant follicles of control and PCOS women undergoing ovarian stimulation for IVF.
| Control IVF (n = 12) (antral follicle) | Control IVF (n = 12) (dominant follicle) | PCOS IVF (n = 17) (antral follicle) | PCOS IVF (n = 17) (dominant follicle) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age (year) | 30.2 ± 1.3 | 30.2 ± 1.3 | 32.2 ± 1.3 | 32.2 ± 1.3 |
| AMH (ng/ml) | 2.5 ± 0.2 | 2.2 ± 0.3 | 2.5 ± 0.1 | 2.5 ± 0.3 |
| VEGF (pg/ml) | 1080.7 ± 66.8 | 3221.3 ± 335.6a | 1153.2 ± 42.0 | 1902.3 ± 50.0b |
| Follicular diameter (mm) | <10 | >16 | <10 | >16 |
Values are mean ± SEM.
a
P < 0.05 dominant follicles versus antral follicles in control women.
b
P < 0.05 dominant follicle versus antral follicle in PCOS women.
