Biological and Clinical Rationale for Androgen Priming in Ovarian Stimulation

Biological and Clinical Rationale for Androgen Priming in Ovarian Stimulation

Androgen receptors are expressed by all stages of growing follicles, and follicular fluid androgen levels are positively correlated to granulosa cell androgen receptor and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor expression. Thus, androgens may promote follicular growth, accumulation and/or respo...
