Relationship Between Serum Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Pregnancy in Women Undergoing In Vitro Fertilization

Abstract

Our work shows that increased ω-6 to ω-3 PUFA ratios in women undergoing IVF are associated with increased implantation and pregnancy rates. Prospective trials are needed to determine whether manipulation of PUFA ratios through diet or pharmacologic intervention may benefit women planning to conceive.
