Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the functional activity of mitochondria of cumulus cells and embryo quality in protocols of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in reproductive-aged patients with anovulatory infertility and obesity taking myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiroinositol (DCI) complex in a 5:1 ratio in combination with manganese and folic acid.
Materials and methods: The study included 22 patients with obesity and anovulatory infertility. The patients of the main group (n=11) received one sachet of Dikirogen complex two times/day for six months before the ART protocol, the comparison group (n=11) did not receive Dikirogen. The obtained embryos were cultured in the EmbryoVisor incubator with time-lapse function. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to study the mitochondrial activity of cumulus cells.
Results: No statistically significant differences were found in the comparison of morphokinetic parameters of embryos, but the blastulation rate in the main group was significantly higher than in the comparison group (57.01±1.99 vs 48.19±3.13, p=0.04). The evaluation of mitochondrial networks in cumulus cells showed a significantly higher emission intensity in the main group than in the comparison group (48.28±1.14 and 42.03±1.24, p=0.002).
Conclusion: The combined therapy with antioxidants, vitamins and trace elements (2000 mg MI, 400 mg DHI, 400 μg folic acid, 10 mg manganese) administered for six months before the initiation of the ART protocol can reduce mitochondrial dysfunction of cumulus cells, decrease oxidative stress and lead to the improvement of oocyte quality.
