Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant in Pregnancy Women Conceived by In Vitro Fertilization and Intrauterine Insemination

Abstract

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a popular kind of assisted reproduction. This method is among the most popular treatments for infertility, to those who cannot have a baby in normal way. One alternative for treating infertility is intrauterine insemination (IUI), which is simple, safe, inexpensive, and does not involve any intrusive procedures. Oocyte senility and other reproductive issues in females may be caused by oxidative stress (OS), which is the result of high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Antioxidants have long been used to treat subfertility because they can balance out the elevated levels of ROS that induce OS. Serum levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, reactive oxygen species, and malondialdehyde were measured in relation to age, body mass index (BMI), and the various forms of assisted reproductive technology used by pregnant women in this research. Enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) based on for the detection of SOD , CAT , ROS levels in the serum of pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy, while GSH measured by using amino acid analyzer. Results demonstrated a statistically significant drop in serum SOD, CAT, and GSH levels in the IVF, IUI, and SP groups compared to the NP group throughout pregnancy. Even if reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels rise dramatically. The age and body mass index groups, as well as the three pregnancy groups (IVF, IUI, and SP), did not vary significantly from one another. There is significant decreases in serum GSH, CAT, and SOD during pregnancy corresponding significant increases in serum of ROS and MDA because pregnant women were more capable to oxidative damage than the non-pregnant. There is no significant effect among the groups of pregnant (IVF, IUI, and SP), perhaps because they are similar in age and BMI.
