Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between the success rate of IVF procedures and some endometrial secretion cytokines, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10), and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP).

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that clinical features of Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are associated with a lower degree of health, self, and sex satisfaction.
Objective: Our study aimed to investigate possible associations between depression and different clinicobiochemical markers of PCOS.
Materials And Methods: In a cross-sectional analytic study, 120 PCOS women aged 18-45 yr, were enrolled.
