Impact of yoga based lifestyle intervention on quality of life, depression and sperm oxidative DNA damage: a randomized controlled trial on infertile men with rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract

expression following IL-1b was analyzed by paired t test. P values <0.05 were considered significant.RESULTS: A total of 68 women were included in the ELISA analysis. Women were grouped based on BMI with 57 women having BMI <35 kg/ m 2 and 11 women having BMI R35 kg/m 2 . Women with BMI R35 kg/m 2 had increased levels of IL-1b in the follicular fluid as compared to women with lower BMI (5.18 pg/mL vs 1.92 pg/mL, p¼0.02).Gene expression from cumulus cells was measured from a representative cohort based on BMI, with 6 in the normal group (BMI 21.1 kg/m 2 to 23.6 kg/ m 2 ) and 6 in the obese group (35.6 kg/m 2 to 42.0 kg/m 2 ). The obese group had a significantly lower relative expression of GREM1 compared to the normal group (0.
