Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) is an important regulator of the female reproductive system. In vitro and non-human in vivo studies demonstrate a role of GH in steroidogenesis, folliculogenesis, and post-fertilization development. Given its ability to modulate the reproductive system and potentiate the effects of gonadotropins, a beneficial role of GH replacement therapy to optimize fertility has been suggested. Women with hypopituitarism have lower pregnancy and live birth rates. Limited data suggest a role of GH in enhancing fertility management in women with hypopituitarism. GH replacement therapy may be especially relevant in women with hypopituitarism as well as in women considered poor ovarian responders and require assisted reproductive techniques.
