Abstract
This study investigates metabolic profiles in follicular fluid of patients with endometriosis (EM), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), tubal blockage (TB), and unexplained infertility (UEI), assessing their associations with follicular development and IVF outcomes. It aims to identify metabolic alterations and potential biomarkers for EM diagnosis and personalized reproductive strategies.Follicular fluid samples were collected from 12 infertility patients (3 EM, 3 PCOS, 3 TB, and 3 UEI) undergoing IVF. Metabolomic profiling was performed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), followed by pathway enrichment analysis to identify key metabolic pathways. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare metabolic profiles across groups, assess correlations with follicular development rate (FDR), and evaluate potential biomarkers for EM diagnosis.
