STEROID PROFILE IN OVARIAN FOLLICULAR FLUID FOR DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS AND DETERMINING STRATEGIES FOR TREATMENT

摘要

Concentrations of endogenous steroids in ovarian follicular fluid are used to develop steroid profiles which provide means for the diagnosis and prognosis of endocrine-related conditions and for identifying and developing appropriate treatments for related conditions, including the identification and development of suitable protocols for in vitro fertilization (IVF), treatment and predictive strategies for successful IVF outcomes and selected uses of oocytes for IVF or embryonic stem cell procedures.
