Abstract

Our response to Simone Ferrero and colleagues is as follows: Follicular fluid concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor, inhibin A and inhibin B in IVF cycles: are they markers for ovarian response and pregnancy outcome?European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyVol. 115Issue 2PreviewObjective(s): The aim of this study was to measure concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), inhibin A and inhibin B in follicular fluid (FF) of women undergoing to in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles and to determine their relationship with ovarian response and pregnancy. Study design: Follicular fluid was collected from 58 patients undergoing oocyte retrieval for IVF. Ovulation was induced with GnRH analogues and gonadotropins. Follicular fluids of mature follicles (>17 mm) were aspirated and pooled for each patient.

[1] recently published in the European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Biology. We would like to bring to your attention some observations on blood sampling and processing which may improve the value of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) measurement on the day of oocyte retrieval in patients who are undergoing IVF.
