Microorganisms within human follicular fluid: effects on IVF. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Our previous study reported microorganisms in human follicular fluid. The objective of this study was to test human follicular fluid for the presence of microorganisms and to correlate these findings with the in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes.

The Impact of Follicular Fluid Oxidative Stress Levels on the Outcomes of Assisted Reproductive Therapy

Antioxidants, 2023
Oocyte quality is a pivotal determinant of assisted reproductive outcomes. The quality of oocytes is intricately linked to their developmental microenvironment, particularly the levels of oxidative stress within the follicular fluid.

Extracellular cell-free RNA profile in human large follicles and small follicles

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Background: Previous studies have shown that a large number of valuable and functional cell-free RNAs (cfRNAs) were found in follicular fluid. However, the species and characteristics of follicular fluid cfRNAs have not been reported.

Is There a Correlation Between Serum SFRP5 and Wnt5a Proteins and Insulin Resistance in Iraqi Infertile Females Undergoing ICSI? [PDF]

Al-Anbar Medical Journal, 2023
Background: Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) is an adipokine that inhibits the noncanonical Wingless Type (Wnt) signalling pathway. It may have anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects, but the evidence is conflicting.Objectives: This

Rheological characterization of human follicular fluid under shear and extensional stress conditions

Frontiers in Physics, 2023
The rheology of human follicular fluid has been empirically evinced to be related to the reproductive health status of individuals, which supports its use as an indicator for improving the success rates of in vitro fertilization.

Effect of folicular fluid on the capacity of binding to the zona pellucida of epididimary sperm of alpaca (Vicugna pacos) [PDF]

SPERMOVA, 2017
Follicular fluid is the liquid fraction that surrounds the oocyte during its growth and maturation in the ovary. The components of the follicular fluid can favor the functionality of the sperm.

Exosomes Derived from Yak Follicular Fluid Increase 2-Hydroxyestradiol Secretion by Activating Autophagy in Cumulus Cells

Animals, 2022
Exosomes in the follicular fluid can carry and transfer regulatory molecules to recipient cells, thus influencing their biological functions. However, the specific effects of yak follicular fluid exosomes on 2-hydroxyestrodiol (2-OHE2) secretion remain ...
