Zusammenfassung: | We aimed to investigate if there is a correlation between in-vitro AMH production and primordial follicle reserve of the ovarian cortical samples in culture.
Seven patients undergoing laparoscopic excision of ovarian dermoid cysts were included in the study. 0.5 × 0.5 cm of ovarian cortical samples embedded within the cyst wall were removed and cultured for one day. Then, the cultured cortical pieces were fixed, paraffin-embedded and serially sectioned for histormorphometric analysis. AMH and estradiol (E2) production of the samples after one-day culture period were measured in the spent culture media. Primordial follicle density was expressed as the number of primordial follicles per mm2. Pearson correlation and linear regression analyses were applied.
The mean age of the patients was 29.2 ± 6.8 (ranging from 18 to 36). There was a negative correlation between age and PF density (r=-0.92, %95CI: -0.99 to -0.76, p |
