Introduction: The hypothalomo-pituitary response to the loss of ovarian function due to ageing is an increase in GnRH induced gonadothropic activity: FSH. It is thought that the pituitary gives maximum endogenous stimulation leading to FSH levels above the ovarian threshold to develop follicular growth and it is a matter of debate whether exogenous FSH (r-FSH) will or will not improve ovarian response. In intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment r-FSH is used to induce multif...

Introduction: Adults with GH deficiency (GHD) have a decreased life expectancy due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Recombinant GH treatment has made replacement therapy an option in adults with GHD. Data on long-term efficacy and safety are limited and the implication for life expectancy remains to be established.Methods: The Dutch National Registry of GH Treatment in Adults was founded to gain more insight into long-term efficacy and safety of GH ther...
