The association between fatty acid index and in vitro fertilization outcomes.

摘要: Fatty acids have been shown to play an important role in oocyte competence and early implantation of the embryo. Our hypothesis-generating study sought determine if individual fatty expressed as a percentage total erythrocyte are associated with embryo quality other vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. This was prospective cohort at academic fertility center. Sixty women undergoing their first IVF cycle were recruited. Serum measurements 22 obtained. We calculated each acid acids, defined index for that acid. Omega-3 had no correlation A negative found between trans index, elaidic (EA), outcomes, including rate (r = − 0.261, p = 0.04), blastocyst conversion (r = − 0.41, p = 0.001), number usable blastocysts embryos (r = − 0.411, p = 0.001). There EA oocytes retrieved, grade, or clinical pregnancy. No consistent correlations observed additional analyzed. omega-3 Elevated major commonly consumed hydrogenated oils, margarine, fried foods, negatively correlated embryos, conversion, rate. findings suggest preliminary evidence fat may be
