Follicular Fluid Raman Shifts and IVF Outcomes

This study intends to collect about 150 cases of follicular fluid samples from PCOS and non-PCOS infertility patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles (in clinical routines).We tend to detect Raman metabolic profile of the follicular fluid of the PCOS and non-PCOS groups, and find the correlation between the metabolic profile of the follicular fluid of PCOS patients and the oocyte quality, IVF outcome and subsequent embryo development are also under investigation. Metabolomics analysis was applied to look for markers of follicular fluid in PCOS patients, and further exploring data and strategies to improve the embryonic development potential and IVF outcome of PCOS patients.
