To investigate if the level of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-s) in follicular fluid (FF) influences the competence of oocytes to fertilize, develop to the blastocyst stage, and produce a viable pregnancy in conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.
Prospective study of age-matched, nonpolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women undergoing antagonist stimulation protocol involving conventional insemination and day 5 blastocyst transfer.
FF levels of DHEA-s and E2 were measured by a radio-immuno-assay method using diagnostic kits. Fertilization rate, embryo development to the blastocyst stage and live birth rate were main outcome measures. Cycles were divided into pregnant/nonpregnant groups and also into low/medium/high FF DHEA-s groups. Statistical analysis was done by GraphPad Prism V software.
FF DHEA-s levels were significantly higher in pregnant (n = 111) compared to nonpregnant (n = 381) group (1599 ± 77.45 vs. 1372 ± 40.47 ng/ml; P = 0.01). High (n = 134) FF DHEA-s group had significantly higher percentage of metaphase II (MII) oocytes (91.5 vs. 85.54 vs. 79.44%, P < 0.0001), fertilization rate (78.86 vs. 74.16 vs. 71.26%, P < 0.0001), cleavage rate (83.67 vs. 69.1 vs. 66.17%, P = 0.0002), blastocyst formation rate (37.15 vs. 33.01 vs. 26.95%, P < 0.0001), and live birth rate (29.85 vs. 22.22 vs. 14.78%, P = 0.017) compared to medium (n = 243) and low (n = 115) FF DHEA-s groups, respectively despite comparable number of oocytes retrieved and number of blastocysts transferred. FF DHEA-s levels correlated significantly with the attainment of MII oocytes (Pearson r = 0.41) and fertilization rates (Pearson r = 0.35).
FF DHEA-s level influences the oocyte maturation process and is predictive of fertilization, embryo development to the blastocyst stage and live birth rates in non-PCOS women undergoing conventional IVF cycles.
探讨在传统体外受精(IVF)周期中,卵泡液(FF)中硫酸脱氢表雄酮(DHEA-s)水平是否会影响卵母细胞的受精能力、发育至囊胚阶段的能力以及实现活产。
对年龄匹配、非多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)且接受拮抗剂刺激方案(包括传统授精和第5天囊胚移植)的女性进行前瞻性研究。
使用诊断试剂盒通过放射免疫分析法测定FF中DHEA-s和E2的水平。受精率、胚胎发育至囊胚阶段的情况以及活产率是主要观察指标。将周期分为妊娠/非妊娠组,也分为低/中/高FF DHEA-s组。采用GraphPad Prism V软件进行统计分析。
与未妊娠组(n = 381)相比,妊娠组(n = 111)的FF DHEA-s水平显著更高(1599 ± 77.45 vs. 1372 ± 40.47 ng/ml;P = 0.01)。尽管获取的卵母细胞数量和移植的囊胚数量相当,但高FF DHEA-s组(n = 134)的中期II(MII)卵母细胞百分比(91.5% vs. 85.54% vs. 79.44%,P < 0.0001)、受精率(78.86% vs. 74.16% vs. 71.26%,P < 0.0001)、卵裂率(83.67% vs. 69.1% vs. 66.17%,P = 0.0002)、囊胚形成率(37.15% vs. 33.01% vs. 26.95%,P < 0.0001)和活产率(29.85% vs. 22.22% vs. 14.78%,P = 0.017)分别显著高于中FF DHEA-s组(n = 243)和低FF DHEA-s组(n = 115)。FF DHEA-s水平与MII卵母细胞的获得(Pearson相关系数r = 0.41)和受精率(Pearson相关系数r = 0.35)显著相关。
FF DHEA-s水平会影响卵母细胞成熟过程,并可预测接受传统IVF周期的非PCOS女性的受精情况、胚胎发育至囊胚阶段的情况以及活产率。
