Abstract
Background: DNA oxidative stress (OS) exposure is a possible pathogenic mechanism for congenital anomalies, especially In vitro. The mechanical manipulation of both the ovum and sperm may increase the presence of different OS biomarkers in the follicular fluid (FF), such as variations in their concentrations and response to ovulation.
Aim of work: assessment of the relationship between the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the follicular fluid of women undergoing IVF/ICSI and embryo quality in the respective cycles. Methods: This work includes 150 cases undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation and analyses for ROS and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in follicular fluid, which are divided into three groups: normal females partner group (50 cases), obese females partner group (50 cases), and PCO females partner group (50 cases). Results: After adjusting for age as a factor, there was a significant positive correlation between ROS and the number of follicles on the day of HCG administration, the number of oocytes retrieved, fertilization rate as well as embryo development. Conclusion: Oxidative stress's Parameters may influence metabolic activity within the follicle.
