Summary

Infertility affects one of every six couples and one out of ten couples may seek fertility treatment such as ovulation induction and assisted reproductive technologies. With respect to diet, several dietary factors, i.e. micro-, macro-nutrients and individual food groups, have been associated with the risk of subfertility; however, more information is needed on the role of dietary factors in reproductive functions. However, evidence concerning the association between dietary patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet (MD) pattern, and fertility is scarce. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between preconception dietary patterns, especially the MD pattern, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes, as well as adiponectin and follistatin concentrations in the plasma and follicular fluid of women undergoing IVF treatment. Blood and follicular fluid adiponectin and follistatin concentrations will be measured on each day of the ovarian stimulation protocol. Main IVF treatment outcomes are fertilization rate, oocyte and embryo quality, implantation, clinical pregnancy and live birth rates.
