Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To determine inhibin-B concentrations during ovarian reserve screening in women with normal and diminished ovarian reserve as determined by the clomiphene citrate challenge test. DESIGN:Retrospective. SETTING:Tertiary fertility center. PATIENT(S):Women undergoing ovarian reserve screening for a routine fertility evaluation. INTERVENTION(S):Clomiphene citrate challenge test. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Inhibin-B concentrations on menstrual days 3 and 10. RESULT(S):Nineteen patients with normal ovarian reserve and 15 with diminished ovarian reserve had serum inhibin-B concentrations determined during ovarian reserve screening. For all patients, day 10 inhibin-B concentrations were higher than day 3. Women with normal ovarian reserve had higher inhibin-B concentrations on both days 3 and 10 than women with diminished ovarian reserve. Inhibin-B concentrations demonstrated a negative correlation with FSH levels on both cycle days 3 and 10 and a positive correlation with E2 on cycle day 10. CONCLUSION(S):Women with diminished ovarian reserve during ovarian reserve screening had reduced granulosa cell inhibin-B production compared with women with normal ovarian reserve. The lower inhibin-B concentrations may be responsible for the elevated FSH concentrations and may be indicative of the aging follicular apparatus.
