Mitochondria DNA deletion and copy numbers of cumulus cells associated with in vitro fertilization outcomes.

Objective: Mitochondria are important organelles in cell biology. We aimed to study the effects of mitochondrial DNA variations in cumulus cells (CCs) upon in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) outcomes.

Study Design: A total of 51 women undergoing IVF-ET were recruited for the study.

A randomized comparison of ovulation induction and hormone profile between the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole and clomiphene citrate in women with infertility.

Background: IN the present study we evaluated and compared the effects of ovulation and hormonal dynamics induced by anastrozole and clomiphene citrate in women with infertility.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-three infertile patients, aged 25-41 years, were enrolled. Patients received either anastrozole 1 mg daily (AI group) or clomiphene citrate 100 mg daily (CC group) from cycle day 3 to day 7.
