Abstract:
Objective Glycodelin-A is one of glycoproteins secreted from endometrial epithelial cells , and it plays an im-portant role in embryo implantation , inhibition of reject reaction and pregnancy maintenance .Glycodelin-A will become an important potential marker in evaluating the endometrial receptivity and predicting the pregnancy outcome .The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of glycodelin-A detected on the day of HCG and endometrial receptivity and the effects of glycodelin -A on the pregnancy outcome in the intrauterine insemination (IUI) period. Methods One hundred and seven woman patients with bilateral unobstruct-ed tubes and without endometrial lesions , endometrial polyps or intrauterine adhesions from Oct 2012 to Feb 2014 in our hospital were recruited in this study .Serum glycodelin-A in women receiving IUI on the day of HCG was measured by ELISA .Serum estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), and corpus luteum (LH) levels were measured by immunochemiluminometric assays .The condition of the endometrium was examined by transvaginalultrasonography . Results The serum glycodelin-A level on the day of HCG was higher in pregnant group [(1.47 ±0.38)ng/mL] than that in nonpregnant group ([0.62 ±0.13]ng/mL).The serum glycodelin-A level on the day of HCG was higher in endometrial thickness ≥7 mm group ([1.53 ±0.49]ng/mL) than endometrial thickness <7 mm group ([0.51 ±0.17]ng/mL). Conclusion The serum glycodelin-A level on the day of HCG may reflect endometrial receptivity to a cer-tain extent , which might have prognosis value for pregnancy following IUI .
