PurposeThe decline in female fecundity with age may be caused by decreased oocyte quality, a factor that may be associated with the altered composition of follicular fluid (FF).MethodsIn an effort to better understand follicular aging and t…
This observational study aimed to establishing a relationship between lipid peroxidation and endometriosis in women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. A total of 79 women were divided into two groups: (i) controls (tubal or mal…
PurposeThe goal for the present study was to implement a technique for protein extraction and identification in human cumulus cells (CCs).MethodsForty samples of CCs were collected after ovum pick-up from patients undergoing intracytoplasmi…
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition that affects 10-32% of women of reproductive age and may lead to infertility. The study of protein profiles in follicular fluid may assist in elucidating possible biomarkers related to this…

PurposePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine-metabolic disorder that leads to lower natural reproductive potential and presents a challenge for assisted reproductive medicine because patients may exhibit immature oocyte retrieval…
PurposeThe aim of the present study was to analyze the lipid profile of follicular fluid from patients with endometriosis and endometrioma who underwent in vitro fertilization treatment (IVF).MethodsThe control group (n = 10) was composed o…
Endometriosis is a gynecological disease that affects women of reproductive age. The protein profiles of women with endometriosis who were able or unable to achieve pregnancy and women without endometriosis who did achieve pregnancy were co…
PurposeThis research proposed to study the changes in lipid composition in cumulus cells (CCs) from women who achieved pregnancy compared with women who did not, after in vitro fertilization treatment. This approach has the potential to pro…
