Popis: | The aim of the study is to investigate serum stem cell factor (SCF) concentrations as potential biomarker for oocyte retrieval efficiency in IVF patients with poor prognosis. A pilot case–control study was performed on 30 poor and 30 normal responders that were stimulated with antagonist protocol. SCF concentrations were evaluated in samples of serum and follicular fluid obtained by all patients on the day of oocyte retrieval. At the time of oocyte retrieval, follicular fluid from at least two follicles ≥ 14 mm and two follicles |
