DIFFERENTIAL HORMONAL MICROENVIRONMENT OF FOLLICULAR FLUID UNDER DISTINCT OVARIAN STIMULATION PROTOCOLS: IMPLICATIONS FOR OOCYTE COMPETENCE
Abstract
Consequently, infertility treatments should be seen as a means to ensure the birth of desired children and to increase the overall reproductive capacity of the population. The success of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is critically dependent on oocyte competence, which is largely determined by the biochemical and hormonal composition of the follicular microenvironment.
