Evaluation MDA and lipid profilein Iraqi women with unexplainedinfertility

الملخص EN

The aim of this study is evaluation ofserum lipid peroxidation and levels of lipids profile in women with unexplained infertility (UI).

60 women with unexplained infertility as well as (40) women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) aged (20-35) year were included in this study.

The women were divided according the type of infertility into primary and secondary groups (2ºUI, 1ºUI, 1ºPCO and 2ºPCO) respectively.

50 healthy fertile women with the same age were included in this study as a control group.

The results showed a significant increase in serum (MDA, TC, LDL, TG and VLDL) and decrease in serum (HDL) levels in all infertility groups compared to control group.

Also, it is a significant increase in serum (MDA, TC, LDL, TG and VLDL) and decrease in serum (HDL) in (1ºPCO) and (2ºPCO) groups in comparison with (1ºUI), (2ºUI) respectively.

This study shows that women with unexplained infertility had elevated TC, LDL, TG and VLDL levels, suggesting a higher risk of lipid peroxidation and a higher risk of developing CVD in the future
