Background: Obesity's impact on micro-environmental oxidative stress and follicular fluid (FF) viscosity and whether or not it has any effect on in vitro fertilization (IVF) success is a matter of debate.
Aims: In this study, our aim was to evaluate the levels of oxidative stress markers and the FF viscosity in obese and non-obese patients.
Methods: Eighty norm-responder patients undergoing IVF were prospectively grouped according to their body mass indexes (BMI).
Objectives. To investigate the effect of cigarette smoke exposure during intrauterine period on neonatal rat testis. Methods.

Materials And Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial included a total of 80 women with PCOS. Of these, 38 were randomized to receive treatment with hMG and 42 with rFSH using a long gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue protocol.
Purpose: We aimed to compare the outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles in obstructive and nonobstructive azoospermic men.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we searched the first ICSI cycle parameters of 211 azoospermic men. Our main outcomes were the average fertilization rate, implantation rate, pregnancy and miscarriage rates.
