Characteristics of follicular fluid morphology and levels of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and its inhibitor-1 in patients with polycystic ovaries in assisted reproductive technology

Assisted reproductive technologies in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an effective way to realize reproductive function with a global pregnancy rate of 25-30 %. The purpose of the study is to establish the correlation between the levels of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and its inhibitor-1 (TIMP-1) with follicular fluid morphology in PCOS patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology.
