Abstract Context Fatty acids (FAs) are important for reproductive processes, including
steroidogenesis, though associations with fecundability, as measured by time to pregnancy …

Context: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and their metabolism may be important in
normal reproductive function and fertility. Associations between physiologic PUFAs and …

Background: Although fatty acids are involved in critical reproductive processes, the
relationship between specific fatty acids and fertility is uncertain. We investigated the …

STUDY QUESTION Are maternal preconception lipid levels associated with fecundability?
SUMMARY ANSWER Fecundability was reduced for all abnormal female lipid levels …

Maternal preconception diet is proposed to affect fertility. Prior research assessing the effect
of altering the fatty acid profile on female fertility is conflicting. The aim of this study was to …

Background Fatty acids (FA) likely affect human fertility at multiple levels, as deviations from
physiological FA profiles are obesogenic, and FA can modify DNA methylation (DNAm). Yet …

Context: A role of lipids in human fecundity is hypothesized as cholesterol is the main
substrate for steroid synthesis and has also been shown to affect the hormonal milieu and …

STUDY QUESTION Are serum polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) concentrations, including
omega-3 (ω3-PUFA) and omega-6 (ω6-PUFA), related to ART outcomes? SUMMARY …

OBJECTIVE: To analyze relationships between serum free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations
and pregnancy. DESIGN: Prospective cohort. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT (S) …

Background Evidence has indicated that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)-enriched diet
could reduce inflammation due to thyroid autoimmunity in vivo, and therefore, enhance …
