Purpose: Our aim is to make an ideal embryo culture medium close to human oviduct fluid (HOF) components, and to evaluate the quality of this medium with embryo quality and clinical outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART) by a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT).
Methods: Study I: HOF was collected laparoscopically from patients (= 28) with normal pelvic findings. According to HOF analysis results, the new medium "HiGROW OVIT" (OVIT) was designed.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of long-term caffeine administration on murine sperm and subsequent in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Methods: Male mice were injected with various doses (0, 0.2 and 1.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of long-term caffeine administration to mice on in vitro fertilization (IVF) of oocytes.
Methods: Mice were injected with different dosages (0, 0.1, and 1.
To examine the relationship between embryo quality and follicular fluid hormonal level in short and long protocol gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist treatment cycles. A total of 90 patients had non-polycystic ovary syndrome (non-PCOS) and 10 had PCOS. A total of 100 subjects underwent fertilization (IVF).

The patients comprised of thirty-one infertile patients with oocyte retrieval levels of less than five, who had undergone several long protocol treatment cycles. The efficacy of treatment with the ER plus flare-up from GnRH-a was compared with the prior long protocol treatment.
