Article Synopsis
- The study explores how cortisol levels in follicular fluid influence the lipid content in cumulus cells during the maturation of oocytes.
- It involves 37 nonobese women undergoing IVF, with samples collected during oocyte retrieval for detailed analysis.
- Results show that higher follicular fluid cortisol is linked to lower lipid content in cumulus cells and better oocyte outcomes, suggesting cortisol may play a key role in cell metabolism and oocyte quality.
