Background: Ovarian oogenesis is under the control of gonadotropins. In the human ovary, each fully grown oocyte resumes maturation in response to gonadotrophins. This process is completed after oocytes reach metaphase stage of second meiotic division (MII) stage. The aim of this prospective, clinical trial was to perceive the age and BMI effect on oocytes maturation and embryos development in women undergoing control ovarian hyperstimulation. Method: A total of 40 infertile women undergoing ovarian hyperstimulation their age range between 18-40 y old were included in this study using two type of protocol: long agonist and antagonist. Result: Significant negative correlation was observed between the age and the number of retrieved MII oocytes. Significant negatively effects of the BMI on the number of MII oocytes while significant positive correlation between the BMI and the fertilization rate was noticed. Conclusion: There are negative effects of age and BMI on the oocytes number and quality.
The objective of this study was to investigate the role of Cucumic melo varagrestis, Vitamin C and zinc on human spermatozoa and oxidative stress during cryopreservation in asthenozoospermia. One hundred males were participated in this study at Infertility Clinic at High Institute for Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies/Al-Nahrain University. There ages were (31.86 ±0.76) years. Semen samples were collected and seminal fluid analysis was done according to WHO (1999). Cryopreservation kept for one month in liquid nitrogen (LN2) at (-196•C 1ml semen sample with 1ml of sperm freeze medium with zinc, vitamin c , cucmic melon extraction). After one month; 0.5 ml of Ferticuilt Flushin was added to pallet and incubation 37•C\30min and Microscopic sperm parameters Examination had conducted. The oral administration of antioxidant combination of Cucumic melo var. agrestis, vitamin C and zinc improves sperm characteristics in asthenozoospermia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
