A woman in her 20s developed IgA vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN), which started four days after oocyte donation (for in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) and transfer to another recipient). Prior to oocyte retrieval, the patient received a course of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) with menotrophin...

This study aimed to compare the safety, efficacy, and clinical predictors of live birth outcomes between cetrorelix and ganirelix in GnRH antagonist protocols during controlled ovarian stimulation.In this retrospective cohort study conducted at a reproductive medicine center (June 2019-June 2022)...
Ganirelix, a third-generation GnRH antagonist, is widely used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) for rapid pituitary suppression to prevent premature luteinizing hormone (LH) surges. Despite its extensive clinical use, real-world evidence on its safety in large populations remains scarce. ...

What is the effect of attenuating the physiological hypergonadotropic activity encountered at minipuberty on female reproductive function in a mouse model?Decreasing the surge of gonadotropins at minipuberty extended reproductive lifespan, coinciding with alterations in neuroendocrine and ovarian...
Overexpression of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH-R) plays a vital role in the advancement of reproductive malignancies such as ovarian, endometrial, and prostate cancer. Peptidomimetic GnRH antagonists are a substantial therapeutic development, providing fast and reversible sup...
To compare in vitro fertilization treatment outcomes for the oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist elagolix (E) to the conventionally used injectable GnRH antagonist ganirelix (G) for achieving pituitary gonadotropin suppression during a controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) c...

Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is the most severe form of male factor infertility. It results form from either primary or secondary testicular failure. Here, we report cases of two patients with NOA due to maturation arrest and increased serum FSH, treated with GnRH agonist and gonadotrophins....

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is present throughout the natural follicular phase. However, the debate is still not settled on whether LH is needed during ovarian stimulation in IVF. This commentary looks at the evolution of this debate, mentioning three elephants in the room that were ignored by the P...

The delayed-start gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol seems effective for patients who are poor ovarian responders, but there are insufficient data on whether it is also effective for patients with poor-quality embryos and low rates of good blastocyst formation. Specifically, the e...

Luteinizing hormone (LH) plays a key role in normal follicular development and oocyte maturation in controlled ovarian stimulation. LH stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of theca cells for the secretion of androgens, synergistically increasing estrogen production. This study aimed t...

Ganirelix is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist with high antagonistic activity that blocks the GnRH receptor by competitive binding. A daily dose of 0.25 mg of ganirelix was sel5ected after a phase II study because it was the minimal, effective daily dose to prevent premature lut...
