Preconception serum lipids and lipophilic micronutrient levels are associated with live birth rates after IVF.
Reproductive BioMedicine Online ·doi:10.1016/j.rbmo.2019.06.004

Research questionIs a mixture of preconception serum lipids and lipophilic micronutrients associated with clinical pregnancy and live births?DesignIn this prospective cohort study, blood serum was collected on the day of oocyte retrieval fo…

Preconception Plasma Phospholipid Fatty Acids and Fecundability.
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2018-00448

ContextFatty acids (FAs) are important for reproductive processes, including steroidogenesis, though associations with fecundability, as measured by time to pregnancy (TTP), are unclear.ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between preco…

Associations between follicular fluid high density lipoprotein particle components and embryo quality among in vitro fertilization patients.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-016-0826-x

PurposeFollicular redox balance is likely to be important for embryo quality during in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the anti-oxidative high desity lipoprotein (HDL) particle is the sole lipoprotein measured in follicular fluid (FF). There…

Associations between PON1 enzyme activities in human ovarian follicular fluid and serum specimens.
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0172193

The importance of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particle components to reproduction is increasingly recognized, including the constituent paraoxonase 1 (PON1). However, the reliability characteristics of PON1 enzymes in ovarian follicular …

Serum Antioxidants Are Associated with Serum Reproductive Hormones and Ovulation among Healthy Women.
The Journal of nutrition ·doi:10.3945/jn.115.217620

BackgroundEvidence is growing that the equilibrium between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants plays a vital role in women's reproductive health.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate variations in serum antioxidant conce…

2014
Variability in the components of high-density lipoprotein particles measured in human ovarian follicular fluid: a cross-sectional analysis.
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2014.01.028

ObjectiveTo assess the variability of follicular fluid (FF) high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particle components.DesignCross-sectional design with assessment using two-stage nested analysis of variance.SettingReproductive health center.Patien…

Self-report of fruit and vegetable intake that meets the 5 a day recommendation is associated with reduced levels of oxidative stress biomarkers and increased levels of antioxidant defense in premenopausal women.
Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics ·doi:10.1016/j.jand.2013.01.019

BackgroundOxidative stress has been associated with a variety of chronic diseases and reproductive disorders. Fruits and vegetables (F/V) may contribute to antioxidant vitamin and micronutrient levels and reduce oxidative stress.ObjectiveTo…

Toxic trace metals and human oocytes during in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Reproductive toxicology (Elmsford, N.Y.) ·doi:10.1016/j.reprotox.2010.01.003

Trace exposures to the toxic metals mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) may threaten human reproductive health. The aim of this study is to generate biologically-plausible hypotheses concerning associations between Hg, Cd, and Pb and i…

BioCycle study: design of the longitudinal study of the oxidative stress and hormone variation during the menstrual cycle.
Paediatric and perinatal epidemiology ·doi:10.1111/j.1365-3016.2008.00985.x

Studies in both human and animal species have suggested that oxidative stress may be associated with health outcomes, including the risk of infertility in both males and females. Sex hormones have been shown to have antioxidant properties. …

2009
Follicular fluid high density lipoprotein-associated micronutrient levels are associated with embryo fragmentation during IVF.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-009-9367-x

PurposeTo investigate whether follicular fluid lipid-soluble micronutrients are associated with embryo morphology parameters during IVF.MethodsFollicle fluid and oocytes were obtained prospectively from 81 women. Embryo morphology parameter…

2008
Analytical and biological variation of biomarkers of oxidative stress during the menstrual cycle.
Biomarkers : biochemical indicators of exposure, response, and susceptibility to chemicals ·doi:10.1080/13547500701775563

Little information is available on the intra-individual variability of oxidative stress biomarkers in healthy individuals and even less in the context of the menstrual cycle. The objective of this study was to characterize the analytical an…
