PURPOSE: This study investigated whether perinatal complications in assisted reproductive technology are attributable to embryo cryopreservation or the specific endometrial preparation method, comparing Fresh Embryo Transfer (Fresh ET), Nat…
PURPOSE: Laevo (l)-carnitine plays important roles in reducing the cytotoxic effects of free fatty acids by forming acyl-carnitine and promoting beta-oxidation, leading to alleviation of cell damage. Recently, the mitochondrial functions in…
PURPOSE: The fertility of women decreases with age because of factors such as an increased incidence of aneuploidies and-possibly-decreased mitochondrial activity in oocytes. However, the relationship between maternal aging and mitochondria…
PURPOSE: To compare the ovarian response predictive ability of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and estradiol (E2) and to determine the age-specific distribution of serum AMH concentrations of Japanese women…
PURPOSE: The oxygen consumption rates (OCRs) in mice and cattle have been reported to change during preimplantation embryogenesis. On the other hand, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number has been shown to be unchanged in mice and changed i…
PURPOSE: The change of mitochondrial distribution in human oocytes during meiotic maturation was assessed using 223 human oocytes donated from patients undergoing fertility treatment between June 2013 and February 2016. METHODS: Live cell …
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine the prophylactic effects of cabergoline on ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) after oocyte retrieval. METHODS: A total of 187 women underwent controlled ovarian stimulation using gonado…
