THE GROWTH HORMONE
GH levels are age dependent and decline progressively
with advancing age. Nazaimoon et al 1993
GH enhances ovarian steroidogenesis,
follicular development,
and ovarian response to FSH Mason et al. 1990, Doldi et al. 1996
Poor responders demonstrate lower intrafollicular IGF‐1 concentrations
which might be associated with the ability of the follicles to respond to FSH. Oosterhuis et al 1998
