“…This could be related to the fact that live spermatozoa may have a greater affinity to incorporate DHA/ EPA into their cellular components than when supplied via diet and having to cross the blood testis barrier [36]. In addition to the aforementioned biochemical properties of omega-3, being lipids, PUFAs may provide sperms with greater resistance to the physical detrimental effects of the freezingthawing cycles [37][38].…”

Background: With the increasing deterioration in male fertility rates over the past few decades, assisted reproductive therapy via sperm banking has gained considerable attention from different health authorities worldwide. The process of sperm cryopreservation exerts certain harmful effects on sperm quality parameters. The aim of the current study was to examine the effect of omega-3 on human sperm cryopreservation as a dietary supplement and as a cryoprotectant stimulant. Methods: From healthy men, 120 seminal fluid samples were randomly collected for cryopreservation (for 30 days). All samples were divided into three groups (40 in each). The supplement group (SG) (first group) had been given dietary supplements of omega-3 (30% EPA: 20% DHA) for eight weeks before sample collection. The samples of the cryoprotectant group (CG) (second group) were treated with omega-3 additive in the diluent at the time of being collected and before we cryopreserved them. The samples from the control group (third group) were cryopreserved without any dietary or cryoprotectant supplementation. Initial seminal analysis was recorded and post-thawing assessment of sperm motility, vitality (using eosin test) and oxidative stress (using a nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) test) were compared. Results and Conclusion: SG samples had greater initial seminal fluid volumes, as well as better sperm motility and vitality, but the oxidative stress assessment did not differ significantly pre-cryo. Post-thawing assessment revealed that the CG group had the best parameters of motility, vitality and oxidative stress. These results may be related to the positive effects of omega-3 fatty acids on reproductive glands, hormonal milieu, sperm function and structure, making it a suitable biostimulant for improving the outcome of human sperm banking. Results were comparable to multiple previous animal studies.

“…When a conception happens at least once but does not repeat, it is referred to as secondary infertility [5]. There are several factors can affect female fertility including, environmental factors, life style, smoking, alcohol drinking, weight factors, stress and emotional status [6]. Ovarian hormonal factors, age factors [7].…”

An estimated 12-20% of couples struggle with infertility, It is described as not becoming pregnant after a year of trying. About one-third of these couples are infertile because of female factors, and another third are infertile because of male factors. A combination of the two may be experienced by couples in the remaining one-third. Its distributed into two groups, primary and secondary. A total of 60 participants, 30 of whom were older women (>35) and 30 of whom were younger women (<35). In this study the results were showed statistically highly significant positive correlation-r between GH and both serum and follicular fluid (FF) FSH (0.84, 0.81 mIU/ML), LH (0.76, 0.74 mIU/ML) and AMH (0.89, 0.86 mIU/ML), and there was highly significant positive correlation between GH and number of retrieval Oocyte (0.47, 0.46 mIU/ML), negatively significant correlation was found between GH and number of abortion (-0.10, -0.14 mIU/ML). Notably, the vast majority of the assessments GH hormone levels in serum and follicular fluid revealed a statistically significant positive correlation with FSH, LH, AMH, the frequency of miscarriages, the retrieval of oocytes and infertility duration. These findings imply a strong positive correlation between GH and female fertility. As a result, much research is required to assess, estimate the importance of GH levels on women's fertility, and to get an early hormone level assessment before beginning a GH-containing therapy program.
