Association between The Number of Retrieved Mature Oocytes and Insulin Resistance or Sensitivity in Infertile Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Journal Title: International Journal of Fertility & Sterility - Year 2019, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The objective of this study was to describe the association between luteinizing hormone (LH)/ follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio and demographic variables and maturation stage of oocytes in insulinresistant and insulin-sensitive patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in comparison with control group. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 60 patients with in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) indication were subdivided into 3 groups as follow: 20 subjects were assigned to control (fertile women with male infertility history) group, 20 subjects with PCOS were insulin resistant (IR) and 20 subjects with PCOS were insulin sensitive (IS). After puncture, retrieved oocytes were classified into metaphase II (MII) as mature and in metaphase I (MI) or germinal vesicle stage (GV) as immature. Regression analyses were used to explore the association between MII oocyte number and demographic and clinical variables. Results: LH/FSH ratio was significantly higher in PCOS-IR women compared to controls but not significantly different from that of PCOS-IS group. PCOS-IR women had lower MII oocyte number compared with that of controls. According to multiple regression analysis, the number of previous assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles was negatively associated with the number of MII oocytes. Conclusion: Insulin resistance can be associated with reductions in MII oocyte number in patients with PCOS.

In Vitro Maturation of Oocytes in Women at Risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome-A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study
Background: In vitro maturation (IVM) is an artificial reproductive technology in which immature oocytes are harvested from the ovaries and subsequently will be matured in vitro. IVM does not require ovarian hyperstimula...
Resurgence of Minimal Stimulation In Vitro Fertilization with A Protocol Consisting of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone-Agonist Trigger and Vitrified-Thawed Embryo Transfer
Minimal stimulation in vitro fertilization (mini-IVF) consists of a gentle controlled ovarian stimulation that aims to produce a maximum of five to six oocytes. There is a misbelief that mini-IVF severely compromises pre...
