“…This observations differed significantly from reports in non-pregnant goats that established that the right ovaries were more active with higher weights and diameters than the left ovaries (2,19,20). Moreover, caprine ovaries with corpus luteum of pregnancy had higher weight compared with ovaries of similar age and reproductive stage that are devoid of corpus luteum of pregnancy (2,19). The differences observed in the left ovaries of pregnant Red Maradi goats could be attributed to increasing number of ovulations and developing copora lutea in twin pregnant goats when compared with single pregnant goats.…”

“…This result indicates that during pregnancy, the left ovaries were more active than the right ovaries in both single and twin bearing pregnancies. This observations differed significantly from reports in non-pregnant goats that established that the right ovaries were more active with higher weights and diameters than the left ovaries (2,19,20). Moreover, caprine ovaries with corpus luteum of pregnancy had higher weight compared with ovaries of similar age and reproductive stage that are devoid of corpus luteum of pregnancy (2,19).…”

Pregnancy involves some structural and physiological adjustments to achieve an optimal outcome for the fetus and its mother. The magnitude of these changes is influenced by number of fetuses in utero. This research was designed to compare serum biochemical and ovarian morphometric changes associated with singleton and twin pregnancies in Maradi goats. Using Richardson formula, 2.1 × [CRL (cm) + 17], twelve (12) ovarian and blood samples (7 single and 5 twin) from mid gestation (≈70-100 dGA) pregnant goats were purposively selected. Ovarian weights, ovarian diameters, serum biochemistry and levels of ovarian sex hormones were determined and analyzed using standard procedures. Twin pregnant goats had higher (p < 0.05) left ovarian weights, average ovarian weight, left ovarian diameters, average ovarian diameter, serum calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels compared with singleton pregnant goats. There was no significant variation (p > 0.05) in the mean crown-rump length, mean gestational age, mean fetal weight, right ovarian weights, right ovarian diameters, serum concentrations of sodium, potassium, chloride, urea, creatinine, AST, ALT, total protein, estrogen and progesterone between sinlgeton and twin pregnant Red Maradi goats. Ovarian sections from the twin bearing mid gestation goats had more growing follicles and fewer primordial follicles compared with the singleton bearing goats. Findings from this study indicate that twin pregnancy, which could be genetically programmed, has the tendency to affect ovarian follicles development, ovarian morphometrics and calcium metabolism in mid gestation in Red Maradi goats.

“…The median AST was 28.5 IU/L, while the average ALT was 13.1 IU/L. [40,41] The mean value of AST in the follicular fluid per patient was 17.46 ± 9.59 IU/L in our study. The results of our study showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups of patients that were first divided according to age (≤35 years and > 35 years) and then according to the outcome of the IVF process (negative and positive).…”

Defining certain parameters of the oocyte microenvironment that can be simply and quickly detected and that enable differentiation of oocytes that have better or worse quality could potentially increase the efficacy of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) method. Follicular fluid represents the microenvironment for the development of oocytes during different stages of maturation. Enzymes present in the follicular fluid may affect the quality of oocytes. There are inconsistencies in the literature concerning enzyme concentration in follicular fluid. The main aim of this study was to examine whether the concentration of enzymes aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase in follicular fluid can influence the outcome of IVF. The study included 120 patients who were involved in the process of IVF. We used the follicular fluid obtained after follicular aspiration in the ovaries as biological material for the analysis. The values of enzymes LDL (method—kinetic UV test), aspartate aminotransferase (method—kinetic UV test), ALT (method—kinetic UV test) and alkaline phosphatase (method—colorimetric kinetic test) in the follicular fluid were determined on the analyzer АU 680, Becman Coulter. The criteria of the Istanbul consensus of clinical embryologists were used for the embryo assessment. The software package SPSS 20 was used for the statistical processing of data. The results of follicular fluid sample analysis showed a correlation between ALT concentration in the follicular fluid and IVF outcome. Based on our results, we can conclude that ALT concentration affects the outcome of IVF.

“…It remains unclear whether there are any ramifications in terms of ART outcomes. Among the scarce data comparing women with one and two ovaries, some studies have reported that the pregnancy rate is similar between the two groups, while others have found it to be less in single ovary women [ 8 - 9 ]. Similarly, others reported lower LBRs among women who underwent a unilateral oophorectomy (18.6%) compared with women who have two functional ovaries (25.4%) [ 10 ].…”

Introduction One of the major hardships faced by married couples is the inability to conceive a child. This issue is becoming more prevalent given the increasing rate of infertility worldwide. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has brought hope to infertile couples. We aim to estimate the live birth rate (LBR) and pregnancy rate in women with one ovary compared with those with two ovaries. Methods A retrospective cohort study of women who underwent ART at King Abdulaziz Medical City (Jan 2000 - Dec 2018) was conducted. Five cycles of patient data were collected. The LBR (both conditional and cumulative) was compared between women with one and two ovaries. Results The final analysis included 403 women. Of these, 9% (n = 37) had one ovary. The majority (59%, n = 233) had primary infertility. A male-associated factor accounted for 52% (n = 208) of the infertility cases. The total number of live births was 164; and the overall LBR from five cycles was estimated as 9%, 16%, 18%, 18%, and 15%, respectively. In the double ovary group, the highest rate was in the fourth cycle [19% (12-26)], while in the single ovary group peaked in the third cycle [27% (9-46)]. Pregnancy was at its highest in the first cycle, accounting for 88 pregnancies. Conclusion The outcomes of ART varied between study groups. LBR was lower in single ovary women. The average of five cycles in the single and double ovary groups was 13% and 15%, respectively. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference in LBR between single or double ovary women.
