Summary
This research is to investigate the response of vascular active factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiotensin-Ⅱ (AT-Ⅱ) to ovary stimulation during 24h in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Controled prospective clinical study involved 60 women undergoing in vitro fertilization. Fifty-two patients with PCOS and 8 control cases were stimulated with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) during the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle (4st to 7th days of the cycle).The blood was sampled before the injection (0 hour) and at the 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours points after the stimulation. VEGF, AT-Ⅱ were measured by radioimmunoassay.
