  • The data published on the beneficial effect of GH on assisted reproduction outcomes do not exclude the possibility that this effect is due, at least in part, to an action of GH on the uterus, enhancing the receptivity of endometrium for the implanting embryo. (medscape.com)
  • [ 16 ] In humans, the first study indicating GH beneficial effect on endometrium has been published recently, in which it was shown that simultaneous administration of GH with hormone-replacement therapy could improve clinical outcomes after frozen embryo transfer by increasing endometrial blood perfusion and expression of cytokines related to endometrial receptivity.
