Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a potentially life-threatening complication of ovarian stimulation associated with severe vascular hyperpermeability. Primary co-cultures of human luteinized granulosa cells (LGCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used as a model of steroidgenic/endothelial cell interaction in OHSS.
