Effect of obesity on parameters of ovarian reserve in premenopausal women.

Objective: To study the relationship between obesity and serum and ultrasound markers of ovarian reserve in premenopausal women.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional comparative study of two age-matched groups of premenopausal participants (early transition phase): 50 participants ("non-obese") had a BMI < 30 kg/m2, and the other 50 participants ("obese") had a BMI of 30 to 35 kg/m2. The obese women had a mean age of 46.

Assessment of male serum anti-Mullerian hormone as a marker of spermatogenesis and ICSI outcome.

Objective: To assess serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) as a marker of spermatogenesis among fertile and infertile males, as well as its relation to ICSI outcome.

Methods: A total of 77 male partners of infertile couples seeking infertility treatment were recruited for this study. They were classified according to the WHO criteria of semen analysis into three groups; azospermia, oligospermia, and normal.

The effectiveness of clomiphene citrate in LH surge suppression in women undergoing IUI: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To study the effectiveness of clomiphene citrate (CC) in preventing a premature LH surge during controlled ovarian stimulation in women undergoing assisted reproduction.

Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled trial.

Setting: University hospital.

Relationship between oxidative stress and embryotoxicity of hydrosalpingeal fluid.

Background: Oxidative stress mechanisms are involved in the pathophysiology of many reproductive disorders. The objective of this study was to characterize oxidative stress parameters in hydrosalpingeal fluid (HSF) and examine their possible role in early embryo development.

Methods And Results: HSF was aspirated at laparoscopic salpingectomy in 11 infertile women.
