background: fatty acids are known to be critically important in multiple biological functions. phospholipid fatty acids of follicular fluid, an important microenvironment for the development of oocytes, may contribute to the women’s fertility and the efficacy of assisted reproduction techniques. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fatty acid composition of follicular fluid ph...

Background: Cigarette smoke contains many oxidants and may alter the human reproduction by inducing oxidative stress (OS) in both active and passive smokers. This study was designed to evaluation the effect of environment tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure on oxidative stress in follicular follicle and assisted reproduction outcomes. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was carried out on 236 i...

in recent years, preservation of fertility in women has been of great importance, especially in patients exposed to deleterious conditions on fertility. thus, cryopre-servation of human gametes, embryos and ovarian tissue has become an essential part of assisted reproduction. this approach limits the number of embryos transferred, while supernumerary oocytes and/ or embryos can be used in subse...

Since that historically the first human birth was registered through in vitro fertilization in 1978, the improvement and creation of new assisted reproduction techniques such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection and physiological intracytoplasmic sperm injection have become of great importance nowadays. Louise Brown was the first baby conceived through in vitro fertilization in England. Since th...
