The influence of urinary versus recombinant gonadotropin on serum P-selectin levels in vivo.

Objective: To determine the levels of serum P-selectin in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) cycles with urinary (uGn) versus recombinant gonadotropins (rGn) and their possible correlation with COH variables.

Methods: This study was carried out in a large university-based infertility and in vitro fertilization unit. A total of 14 consecutive patients underwent our routine COH protocol for unexplained infertility with either uGn or rGn.

Serum P-selectin level during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation--a preliminary report.

Objective: To measure levels of serum P-selectin in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) cycles and to determine their possible correlation to COH variables.

Setting: Large university-based infertility and in vitro fertilization unit.

Patients: Fourteen consecutive patients undergoing our routine COH protocol for unexplained infertility.
