Title: Correlation between resistin and follistatin hormones with pregnancy outcome in samples of Iraqi women undergoing ICSI cycle

Abstract

Resistin and follistatin levels have been found to be high in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) patients, indicating that the adipokines may have a role in pathophysiology of PCOS and pregnancy in women having ICSI cycle. The aim of study: Determining the relationship between resistin and follistatin hormone levels with pregnancy outcome in PCOS and non-PCOS women undergoing intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) program. The study was carried out at Higher Institute for Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies from November 2022 to April 2023. Eighty infertile women participating in the IVF/ICSI treatment. They were split to control (non-polycystic ovarian syndrome- PCOS-) group (40 women) and 40 women for PCOS group. The groups were subdivide to subgroups’ according to body max index (BMI ;normal and overweight / obese). ELISA method was used to measure resistin and follistatin level at day 2 and follicular fluid and serum at day of Ova Pick Up (OPU). About 38.8% of study participants were got pregnant. Means of serum resistin and follistatin in day 2 and OPU were significantly higher in patients with PCOS and normal BMI level while follistatin at day 2 and in follicular fluid were significantly higher in participants who got pregnant. Follistatin level at day 2   was > 9.89 pg/ml and in follicular fluid was> 15.06 pg/ml are predictors for occurrence of pregnancy after ICSI. As conclusion, Resistin and pregnancy rate did not correlate with pregnancy. However,  the cutoff point of follistatin level  in the serum at day two and in FF  at the day OPU was found to be a predictor of pregnancy following ICSI. Resistin and follistatin may be helpful indicators in the emergence of PCOS.
