ObjectivesTo assess the ability of the new software SonoAVC to measure follicular volume and to compare these volume calculations with those made by conventional methods.To assess the ability of the new software SonoAVC to measure... more
The present study was undertaken to investigate the levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9 and their tissue inhibitors (TIMP-2 and TIMP-1, respectively) in the follicular fluid of 39 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome... more
We investigated effects of multivitamin/mineral supplementation on element levels in serum and follicular fluid of women undergoing IVF. We used three groups in this study. The first group was used as an age-matched and nonpregnant... more
In an in-vitro fertilization (IVF)/embryo transfer programme granulosa cells obtained from 59 individual preovulatory follicles were analysed using multiparameter image analysis cytometry, in an attempt to determine whether their... more
Summary. The sperm function of fertile men (control), infertility patients (experimental), and men with varicocele were compared. The bioassays used were the follicular fluid-induced acrosome reaction, the binding to the zona pellucida,... more
Summary. Successful sperm-oocyte interaction depends, among other things, on sperm capacitation, which is defined by acrosomal and motility alterations. In the study described here the authors evaluated different aspects of this gamete... more
The use of ovarian stimulation, to stimulate a multi-follicular response for assisted reproduction treatments, may force the production of oocytes from follicles that do not reach optimal maturation, possibly yielding oocytes that are not... more
OBJECTIVE: To correlate components of the plasminogen activator (PA) system with fertility outcome parameters in participants in an IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedure. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: Outpatient... more
Objective(s)To measure levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the follicular fluid from patients undergoing IVF and to examine the association among LPO and TAC and oocyte maturity, embryo quality,... more
We studied both morphology and steroidogenic activity of ovaries in gilts after bilateral surgical denervation performed on day 3 of the estrous cycle. Blood samples were collected from day 4 of the first estrous cycle to day 11 of the... more
