Association of Follicular Fluid Advanced Glycation End-Products with Oocyte Response and Clinical Pregnancy in Assisted Reproduction Cycles.

Context: Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are toxic metabolic end-products of lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Their accumulation in the ovaries can alter the follicular microenvironment and affect stimulation response.

Aims: We aimed to study the association of AGEs in follicular fluid (FF AGE) with oocyte response and clinical pregnancy in ART-Assisted Reproductive Technology cycles.
