Abstract
Objectives
The present study investigated the relationship between fatty acid levels in whole blood in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and four successive assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was performed on data from a prospective cohort study conducted between 2014 and 2016.
Results
Participants were 238 women undergoing in vitro fertilization and participating in a study on the role of lifestyle habits and diet in ART outcomes. Blood polyunsaturated fatty acids were measured by gas chromatography. Overall, higher blood levels of monounsaturated fatty acids and oleic acid and higher ω-6/ω-3 ratio and arachidonic/docosahexaenoic acid ratio were associated with more favorable ART outcomes. By contrast, higher concentrations of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids tended to be negatively associated with the considered outcomes.
Conclusions
Further prospective studies are needed to determine the ranges of fatty acid concentrations that are optimal for women with subfertility.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition has an open access mirror journal Nutrition: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Founded by Michael M. Meguid in the early 1980''s, Nutrition presents advances in nutrition research and science, informs its readers on new and advancing technologies and data in clinical nutrition practice, encourages the application of outcomes research and meta-analyses to problems in patient-related nutrition; and seeks to help clarify and set the research, policy and practice agenda for nutrition science to enhance human well-being in the years ahead.
