Correlation of Recombinant FSH Doses with Follicular and Serum Level Resolvin E1 in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Women Undergoing ICSI

Background: Reproduction is a intricately structured process achieved by interaction of the higher centers in the brain, the gonads, and different body parts; Whereas infertility is a multifactorial pathological condition affecting approximately 10–15% of couples, especially in industrialized region.RESOLVIN E1 is a member of specialized pro resolving mediator family of bio active lipids. It has anti-inflammatory effects in various inflammatory diseases. A promising researches in their way to prove its positive role in reproduction through direct effect on folliculogenesis. It has a fundamental role in regulating follicular growth and maturation at central and peripheral levels highlighting its possible role in diagnosing and treating infertility problems. High level of RESOLVIN E1 which might play critical role in poly cystic ovarian syndrome due to its anti-inflammatory effects. Objectives: To investigate the correlation of serum and follicular RESOLVIN E1 to gonadotropin (recombinant FSH doses) in PCOS patient undergoing ICSI. Subject, Patients, Materials, and Method: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted in the high institute for infertility diagnosis and assisted reproductive technology /Al Nahrain University /Baghdad /Iraq, from November 2023 till March 2024. Twenty-nine infertile PCOS women who were undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection were enrolled in the study. Serum and follicular RESOLVIN E1 at day of oocyte pickup were measured using ELISA technique. Results: The current study shows significantly lower gonadotropins stimulation dose needed for PCOS females (p <0.001). It also revealed no significant correlations between total gonadotropins dose with both serum and follicular fluids resolvin E1, while there were insignificant negative correlations between serum and follicular fluids resolvin E1 with patients’ ages and body mass indices among PCOS females. Conclusions: There is no correlation between the serum and follicular RvE1 levels in PCOS infertile females.
