Özet

Objective: To evaluate the levels of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in follicular fluid (FF) and the expression of c-Met in granulosa cells (GCs) with respect to the quality of the oocyte and embryo both in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and in the normal ovary during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation cycles.
