AI Article Synopsis

  • Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) leads to a decrease in both the number and quality of eggs, negatively affecting women's fertility and overall quality of life.
  • The incidence of DOR is rising, with more younger women being affected, making it essential to identify its causes.
  • This study highlights the importance of maternal nutrition—both undernutrition and overnutrition—during pre-conception, pregnancy, and lactation, as it significantly influences the ovarian reserve in daughters developed in the prenatal period.

Article Abstract

Diminished/decreased ovarian reserve (DOR), which refers to a decline in oocyte number or quality, has a profound impact on women's quality of life and fertility. In recent years, the incidence of DOR has been increasing, and more cases of this complication have been reported at younger ages. Therefore, finding the reasons for its occurrence is of great importance. Despite the great inter-individual differences in women's ovarian reserves, environmental and epigenetic effects cannot be ignored in this regard. Since women's ovarian reserves are developed in the prenatal period, the present evidence-based review study has addressed the effects of maternal nutrition, specifically undernutrition and overnutrition, during pre-conception, pregnancy, and lactation on the ovarian reserve of offspring.

Female reproductive senescence results from the regulated depletion of a finite pool of oocytes called the ovarian reserve. This pool of oocytes is initially established during fetal development, but the oocytes that comprise it must remain quiescent for decades until they are activated during maturation in adulthood. In order for developmentally competent oocytes to populate the ovarian reserve they must successfully initiate both meiosis and oogenesis.

Background: Whether cyst size affects ovarian reserve before and after surgery remains controversial.

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine whether cyst size causes differences in pre- and post-ovarian reserve impairment among patients with endometrioma.

Search Strategy: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched from inception to October 13, 2023.

Background: Reproductive dysfunctions of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and blood anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) concentration are significantly influenced by the dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs). The interplay between AGEs and their soluble form of receptor, might exert a protective role on the follicular environment and affect AMH concentration. This study investigated the relationship between soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE) levels in follicular fluid (FF) and serum AMH levels in PCOS and non-PCOS women.

It has been debated whether endometriosis (EMS) adversely affects oocyte quality, potentially leading to a higher incidence of genetically unbalanced embryos or other egg factors that affect the developmental potential. In this study, we explored the effects of endometriosis on risk of chromosomally aberrant in miscarried products of conception (POC) after assisted reproductive treatment (ART), including fresh and frozen cycles. Miscarried POCs were collected from EMS patients (N = 102) and non-EMS patients (N = 441).

The judicious selection of ovulation inhibitors in ovarian stimulation protocols is crucial for the success of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Herein, we investigate the dose-dependent effects of chlormadinone acetate (CMA) and cetrorelix, two distinct ovulation inhibitors, on oocyte maturation in patients with normal ovarian reserve, using univariable and multivariable Poisson regression analyses. Patients undergoing progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) with CMA (n = 299) or gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) with cetrorelix (n = 605) during their initial in vitro fertilization cycle were enrolled at our center from March 2018 to October 2020 (N = 904).
