Oxidative Stress and its Role in Female Infertility and Assisted Reproduction: Clinical Implications
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in physiological functions and act as mediators in various signaling processes. Elevated or sustained generation of free radicals and non radical species derived from free radicals can lead to an imbalance in the intracellular redox homeostasis. Normally, any excess levels of reactive radical and nonradical species generated are intercepted by antioxid...
متن کاملImpact of Italian legislation regulating assisted reproduction techniques on ICSI outcomes in severe male factor infertility: a multicentric survey.
BACKGROUND In 2004, a law regulating assisted reproduction techniques (ART) was passed in Italy. The new rules allow for the formation and transfer of a maximum of three embryos at one time, whereas embryo selection and embryo storage are prohibited. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of these restrictions on ICSI outcome in couples affected by severe male factor infertility. MET...
متن کاملMale infertility and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Micro-assisted fertilization in the form of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has truly revolutionised the treatment options for couples with impaired semen quality, and those with both obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia. In general, the major issues which relate to the success of ICSI are those related to the success of conventional IVF, and the high multiple pregnancy rate rema...
متن کاملUterine Imaging in Infertility and Assisted Reproduction
Uterine pathologies are found to be present in 25% of infertile patients [2] . Structural abnormalities of the uterus, such as leiomyoma, endom etrial polyps, intrauterine adhesions (IUAs), adenomyosis and mullerian anomalies, may affect the reproductive outcome adversely, by interfering with implantation or causing spontaneous abortion. Therefore, exclusion of any uterine pathology becomes an ...
متن کاملMonitoring of stimulated cycles in assisted reproduction (IVF and ICSI).
BACKGROUND Traditional monitoring of ovarian hyperstimulation during in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment has included ultrasonography plus serum estradiol concentration to ensure safe practice by reducing the incidence and severity of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The need for intensive monitoring during ovarian stimulation in IVF is controversial. It has been suggested that clos...
