Insulin Resistance Increases the Risk of Spontaneous Abortion after Assisted Reproduction Technology Treatment

Abstract: This study suggested that IR was an independent risk factor for spontaneous abortion. Because of the high prevalence of IR in obese or polycystic ovarian syndrome patients, the risk of spontaneous abortion in these patients can be raised. Patients with IR should be advised to improve their insulin sensitivity through lifestyle change or medical intervention before infertility treatment to reduce their risk of spontaneous abortion.

“…We speculated that such an association was at least in part because of common risk factors or shared pathological mechanisms of spontaneous abortion and GDM. For instance, in a cohort study (Tian, 2007) of Chinese women undergoing infertility treatment, insulin resistance, which was a key component of the pathogenesis of GDM, was a strong independent risk factor of spontaneous abortion [20]. The underlying biological mechanisms for such an association, however, are still unclear and warrant further investigations.…”

“…Some authors have argued that insulin resistance is a key factor in explaining the association between obesity, PCOS and recurrent miscarriages. 56 Moreover, evidence has shown a possible association between insulin resistance, hyperhomocysteinaemia and the risk of PCOS. 57 Recent studies have highlighted the presence of hypofibronolysis associated with high levels of PAI-1 as being a potential cause of RPL in women with PCOS.…”

“…Women who are obese or overweight (BMI $25 kg/m 2 ) have been shown to be significantly more likely to miscarry chromosomally normal embryos than women with BMI ,25 kg/m 2 , 52,53 which suggests that alternative factors predispose this population to early pregnancy loss. Insulin resistance has been described as an independent risk factor for spontaneous miscarriage, 54 and insulin-sensitizing agents such as metformin have been shown to reduce miscarriage rates. 55 …”
