Follicular fluid (FF) plays a vital role in the bidirectional communication between oocytes and granulosa cells (GCs), regulating and promoting oocyte growth and development. This fluid constitutes a complex microenvironment, …
What molecular mechanisms underlie the decline in ovarian reserve as the number and quality of oocytes decrease in patients with ovarian endometriomas (OEM)?
The aim of the study was to determine the expression pattern of long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) mRNA in cumulus cells (CCs) isolated from metaphase II oocytes of women with unilateral …
Which specific groups of women would not benefit from repeated frozen embryo transfers (FETs)?
Millions of children have been born throughout the world thanks to ARTs, the harmlessness of which has not yet been fully demonstrated. For years, efforts to evaluate the specific effects …
Growing evidence of successful outcomes achieved with the oocyte vitrification technique has greatly contributed to its application in the field of fertility preservation (FP). The population that can benefit from …
The study investigates whether a 3-day pretreatment course with a GnRH antagonist in the early follicular phase has an impact on the number of retrieved COCs in a GnRH antagonist …
Carnitine is a vital molecule in human metabolism, prominently involved in fatty acid β-oxidation within mitochondria. Predominantly sourced from dietary intake, carnitine also derives from endogenous synthesis. This review delves …
The increase in female reproductive disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and diminished ovarian reserve that lead to subfertility and infertility, has encouraged researchers to search and discover their …
The purpose of our study was to determine the influence of lead and cadmium in concentrations commonly found in the environment on the redox system of the follicular fluid (FF) …
