Systemic oxidative stress as a possible mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of mild endometriosis-related infertility

摘要

Research question: Does systemic oxidative stress occur during the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle in infertile women with minimal (stage I) or mild (stage II) endometriosis? Are serum oxidative stress markers during the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle good predictors of successful gestation in these women who undergo ovarian stimulation for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)?
