IVF Outcome in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients

1. To investigate the circulating concentrations of phoenixin and their associations with BMI, the concentrations of sex hormones including (LH), (FSH), (E2), (P4), (TT) and steroid hormones enzyme in PCOS patients. 2. To detect the expression PNX and humanin in women with or without PCOS and to elucidate possible correlations with ovarian reserve and clinical outcomes after IVF-ICSI. 3. To investigate relationship between PNX, humanin expression and PI3K/AKT/mTOR and autophagy pathway as a major signaling mechanism in PCOS for targeting new prognostic and therapeutic markers. 4. The study investigates the correlation between oocyte maturity, fertilization, recent biomarkers and a variety of hormonal parameters in follicular fluid.
