Oxidative energy production is unpreventably associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species. Germinal cells cannot be exempt, and may be exposed in the same manner as other cells to the devastating effects of oxygen metabolites. Aim: To study the correlation of oxidative stress marker lipid hydroperoxide in preovulatory follicular fluid of infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization and their pregnancy outcome. Materials and methods: 60 patients undergoing in vitro fertilization were enrolled in the study. They were divided in two patient groups and compared in terms of follicular fluid lipid hydroperoxides and pregnancy outcome. Result: Pregnant cycles were associated with significantly lower follicular fluid lipid peroxidation (P=0.001). Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that elevated follicular fluid lipid peroxidation level may have a negative impact on In-vitro fertilization outcome. The findings support the idea that level of oxidative stress marker in follicular fluid may play an important role in fertility.
