Abstract

Lifestyle and dietary interventions have been proposed to improve in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in women with overweight and obesity, conditions known to reduce reproductive success. This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and searched PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scopus up to July 2025. Four randomized controlled trials involving 433 participants met inclusion criteria. A fixed-effects meta-analysis showed that weight loss interventions significantly increased clinical pregnancy rates (OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.03–2.35; p=0.04), with low heterogeneity (I²=32%). The strongest effect was reported in Sim 2014 (OR 5.07; 95% CI 1.21–21.28). Improvement in IVF outcomes is likely mediated through enhanced insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammation, and better hormonal regulation. Although both obesity and advanced maternal age reduce fertility, obesity has a greater impact on IVF success in younger women; therefore, weight reduction may be particularly beneficial for women under 35–38 years. In contrast, delaying treatment for weight loss may disadvantage older women due to age-related fertility decline. Overall, lifestyle-based weight loss significantly improves IVF outcomes and should be integrated into treatment planning for overweight and obese patients.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The endometrium is a highly vascularized tissue composed of numerous blood vessels, with cells that are formed and destroyed during each menstrual cycle. Menstrual blood, which is shed cyclically from the endometrium in women of reproductive age, contains endometrial tissue or cells. Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are the primary nucleic acids present in cells with nuclei. In this study, 20 samples of menstrual blood and endometrial tissue were collected from women of reproductive age. Menstrual blood was gathered using specially designed filter paper, and DNA was extracted using the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, Cat No.: 51304). Endometrial tissue was obtained via biopsy, and DNA was extracted using the Geneaid DNA Isolation Kit (Geneaid, New Taipei, Taiwan). DNA purity and concentration were measured using a Thermo Scientific Nano-Drop microvolume Spectrophotometer. The results indicated an average DNA purity of 1.88 ± 0.09 and a mean concentration of 116.9 ng/µL for menstrual blood, while endometrial tissue had a median DNA purity of 1.92 and a concentration of 192 ng/µL. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in DNA purity between menstrual blood and endometrial tissue (p = 0.083), but a significant difference in DNA concentration was observed (p = 0.002). Although there was a slight difference in DNA concentration, both menstrual blood and endometrial tissue samples were equally effective in preserving optimal purity and concentration of DNA molecules.
