“…In the past few decades, the success rates of IVF have signififcantly improved. Pregnancy statistics have increased with pregnancy efficacy rates in young patients of IVF averaging 30-40% per cycle, while among women over the age of 41 years, it has dropped to a few percent [57,58,59]. There is also a signififcant decrease in the multiple birth rate [60].…”

“…Alterations in follicular miRNA levels have been observed in aged mares (by exosome miRNA profiling) [83] and aged women [84]. Increased concentrations of superoxide dismutase (SOD) [85], AMH [86], lactate, and progesterone [87], and decreased concentrations of catalase (CAT) [85] and glucose [87] were observed in older FF compared to younger FF. The aging process is related to oxidative stress, which can be divided into three distinct stages: increased production of reactive species, the mobilization of antioxidants, and oxidative damage to major targets (lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) [88,89].…”

An equilibrium needs to be established by the cellular and acellular components of the ovarian follicle if developmental competence is to be acquired by the oocyte. Both cumulus cells (CCs) and follicular fluid (FF) are critical determinants for oocyte quality. Understanding how CCs and FF influence oocyte quality in the presence of deleterious systemic or pelvic conditions may impact clinical decisions in the course of managing infertility. Given that the functional integrities of FF and CCs are susceptible to concurrent pathological conditions, it is important to understand how pathophysiological factors influence natural fertility and the outcomes of pregnancy arising from the use of assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs). Accordingly, this review discusses the roles of CCs and FF in ensuring oocyte competence and present new insights on pathological conditions that may interfere with oocyte quality by altering the intrafollicular environment.

“…Studies by Wdowiak A. et al indicated that in a woman's body the activity of SOD and catalase affects the quality of embryos and the dynamics of their development [46]. This allows the presumption that an analogous exposure of a human body to these wave ranges may cause reproductive disorders at the stages from conception to the blastocyte stage, and the implantation process.…”

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitting from the natural environment, as well as from the use of industrial and everyday appliances, constantly influence the human body. The effect of this type of energy on living tissues may exert various effects on their functioning, although the mechanisms conditioning this phenomenon have not been fully explained. It may be expected that the interactions between electromagnetic radiation and the living organism would depend on the amount and parameters of the transmitted energy and type of tissue exposed. Electromagnetic waves exert an influence on human reproduction by affecting the male and female reproductive systems, the developing embryo, and subsequently, the foetus. Knowledge concerning this problem is still being expanded; however, all the conditionings of human reproduction still remain unknown. The study presents the current state of knowledge concerning the problem, based on the latest scientific reports.
