Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The aim of our study was to investigate the role of the intact endometrium and ovaries for serum levels of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) and glycodelin. STUDY DESIGN: In 35 premenopausal patients with a planned hysterectomy, serum measurements of IGFBP-1 and glycodelin were done before surgery and 1, 3, 5, and 10 days after surgery. Patients were divided into three groups according to the kind and time of operation: (1) hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy in the luteal phase and (2) hysterectomy without adnexectomy in the follicular phase or (3) the luteal phase. RESULTS: IGFBP-1-we could not show any differences in IGFBP-1 serum levels before and after hysterectomy with or without bilateral oophorectomy. Glycodelin-hysterectomized and oophorectomized patients showed decreasing serum levels up to day 3. After day 5, circulating concentrations of glycodelin increased continuously but remained below pre-operative levels. In both non-adnexectomized groups we saw a reduction up to day 5 but a rise at day 10. None of the results reached statistical significance. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that endometrium and ovary are not the only sources of IGFBP-1 and glycodelin.
