a genetic basis. and activin was confirmed by RT-PCR. Furthermore, p450 aromatase (ARO) was studied with quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting. results: Immortalized luteinized granulosa cells (HLGrCs) and immortalized non-luteinized granulosa cells (HGrCs) expressed ARO, FSH-R and LH-R mRNA. Forskolin and 8-Br-cAMP stimulated secretion of E 2 and P 4 rapidly in HLGrCs and HGrCs, while stimulation with FSH and hCG were less inducible of steroidogenesis. ARO was increased in HGrCs, not fibroblasts as negative control, with forskolin and 8-Br-cAMP. BMP-2, -4, -5, -6, -7 and -15 were expressed by HLGrCs and HGrCs, while the expression of BMP-6, -7 and -15 was less in HLGrCs. BMP receptor typeIA, typeIB and typeII were expressed in HLGrCs and HGrCs. conclusions: We established the immortalized cell lines derived from human luteinized granulosa cells and non-luteinized granulosa cells, which possess steroidogenesis activity. We speculate that these HGrCs seem to be character-ized as immature stages before FSH-dependent growth. These cell lines will help us to investigate the folliculogenesis of the human ovary. introduction: The sex ratio at birth (SSR, proportion of male births) of ART babies varies depending on the ART procedures. Whether the ART procedures have any significant effect on SSR is debatable. ART babies also have shorter mean gestational ages and lower mean birthweights, compared to babies born than in other countries. In Italy, Spain, Mexico and Brazil personal and relation- ship readiness/stability was less influential (p < .001) than in other countries. Countries did not differ on the high influence of feeling economically secure. conclusion: The results demonstrate that some decisional factors have a uni- versal association with starting families, for example the strong desire for children or the need to be financially secure. However, the influence of others varies from country to country and between men and women: needing children for life-long happiness, experiencing social pressure to have children or want-ing to conform to these social norms are not equally present in all countries. Heterogeneity in decisional factors means that policies to improve declining fertility rates need to tackle both shared barriers (e.g., European policies on economic preconditions) and decisional factors particularly present in some countries (e.g., reinforcing societal need for children in Italy). Unexpectedly, men were more aware of and more willingly to comply with family and in-law pressure to have children than women (across all countries) despite a weaker desire and need for children. A controversial interpretation of this would be that men adopt a childbearing strategy aimed at meeting social obligation rath-er than satisfying personal need. should begin investigation and treatment. This study provides a basis for determining what can be deduced about a couple’s fertility from the pe-riod of time which they have been trying to conceive. The presentation will provide important insights into the role of probability in the conception process. yields results that appear to be robust. This approach has the potential to contribute to decision support tools which make use of the duration of non-conception for fertility assessment. compared to controls. In this group of patients, we did not find differences in birth weight or gestational age. In a nationwide study a , which is currently being performed, all these outcomes will be re-evaluated in a larger study population and in relation to treatment history. a Participating centers in the nationwide study: Academic Medical Center Amsterdam, Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, Leids University Medical Center, University Medical Center Groningen, University Medical Center St Radboud Nijmegen, University Medical Center Utrecht and VU University Medical Center Amsterdam. This study was financially supported by the Dutch Cancer Society (grant no. VU 2006-3622) and by ‘Stichting KiKa’ (Foundation Children Cancerfree). gestational ages, higher mean birthweights and similar SSR to general population births. Although the mechanism of the impact on the SSR by ART is unclear, the data shows that IVF + BL leads to a higher rate of male births, compared to general population births, while ICSI + CL has more female births. Singletons born following blastocyst transfer have a higher SSR, a longer GA and a higher BWT, compared to the singletons born following cleavage stage embryo transfer.
