Investigation of the effect of serotonin-activated semen washing medium on sperm motility at the molecular level: a pilot study.

In Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), efficient sperm preparation is vital for successful fertilization, with washing media enhancing the process. This pilot study examines the molecular-level impact of a new serotonin-containing sperm-washing medium (Prototype) on sperm motility and ROS metabolism, comparing it with commercially available media (Origio and Irvine). Semen samples from thirty-one individuals underwent preparation using the swim-up method post-semen analysis.

Good laboratory practice for PGT-M: Turkish Society of Reproductive Medicine guidelines.

This guideline was prepared by the Turkish Society of Reproductive Medicine to define the conditions and requirements for an outsourced preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) programme in line with the experience and needs of practitioners. This guideline is intended to be a reference document for assisted reproductive technology centres, genetic diagnosis centres, non-governmental organizations working on reproductive health, legal experts, consultants working on laboratory accreditation, academicians specializing in ethical issues, and policy makers. The Consortium aims to provide recommendations addressing the challenges of genetic testing, especially PGT for monogenic diseases (PGT-M) due to the high rate of consanguineous marriage in Turkey.

High serum progesterone levels on the day of embryo transfer in patients undergoing artificial frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer: Is there a ceiling effect?

Objective: To evaluate the potential ceiling effect of high serum progesterone levels on the day of embryo transfer for pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing artificial frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer (FET) cycles.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 595 patients who underwent artificial FET cycles. We evaluated progesterone levels and found that 40.

Demographic distributions and clinical results of assisted reproduction techniques in Turkey in 2019: a descriptive survey.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe characteristics and outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles performed in 2019 in Turkey.

Material And Methods: One-hundred and sixty-five ART centers in Turkey were invited to submit data. The survey was sent to center directors via e-mail with anonymous links by Qualtrics™.

effects of the combination of serotonin, selenium, zinc, and vitamins D and E supplementation on human sperm motility and reactive oxygen species production.

Infertility affects 15% of all couples worldwide and 50% of cases of infertility are solely due to male factors. A decrease in motility in the semen is considered one of the main factors that is directly related to infertility. The use of supplementation to improve the overall sperm quality has become increasingly popular worldwide.
