The associations of the concentrations of toxic metals (including metalloid) in blood and follicular fluid with the risk of diminished ovarian reserve
Overall, the results of this study indicate that elevated levels of Ba, Ni, As and Tl are associated with a higher risk of DOR, whether individually or in combination, and that Ba levels in BL and FF are stable contributors. In addition, exposure to Ba, Ni, As and Tl is linked to various clinical phenotype parameters of DOR. Further research is needed to confirm these associations and to identify potential mechanisms involved.
