Abstract
Oxidative Stress (OS) relates to the pathophysiology of endometriosis by activation of the inflammation process in the ovary, abdomen, peritoneum and endometrium. Advanced Glycation end-products (AGEs) cause oxidative damage to the follicles of the ovary. This study aims to investigate the correlation of follicular fluid soluble receptor of AGEs (FF sRAGE) with fertility-related parameters in infertile women with endometriosis. From January 2012 to July 2015 twenty-four women diagnosed with mild to moderate endometriosis aged 28-38 years underwent assisted reproduction. sRAGE levels measured in FF were related to lifestyle factors, sociodemographic characteristics, gynaecological and obstetric parameters, hormonal status and fertilization. sRAGE was inversely associated with BMI (r = -0.503, p = 0.012). No significant association of sRAGE with age (p = 0.714) or alcohol consumption (p = 0.882) was found. Pearson's r correlation coefficient revealed that sRAGE was positively associated with serum AMH (r = 0.518, p = 0.009), FF AMH (r = 0.630, p = 0.001), number of follicles >15mm (r = 0.601, p = 0.002), total number of follicles aspirated (r = 0.698, p < 0.001), total number of MII oocytes obtained, (r = 0.757, p < 0.001) and the number of embryos with good embryo scoring (suitable for ET) (r = 0.522, p = 0.009). It seems that measurement of FF RAGE might be a useful predictive marker for IVF success in infertile women with endometriosis undergoing assisted reproduction.
