Abstract
Abstract
Background
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women have high incidences of dyslipidemia, obesity, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), diabetes, and insulin resistance (IR) and are fragile to female infertility. Obesity and dyslipidemia may be the intermediate biological mechanism for the associations between glucose metabolism dysfunction and abnormal oogenesis and embryogenesis.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study was performed at a university-affiliated reproductive center. A total of 917 PCOS women aged between 20 and 45 undergoing their first IVF/ICSI embryo transfer cycles from January 2018 to December 2020 were involved. Associations between glucose metabolism indicators, adiposity and lipid metabolism indicators, and IVF/ICSI outcomes were explored using multivariable generalized linear models. Mediation analyses were further performed to examine the potential mediation role of adiposity and lipid metabolism indicators.
Results
Significant dose-dependent relationships were found between glucose metabolism indicators and IVF/ICSI early reproductive outcomes and between glucose metabolism indicators and adiposity and lipid metabolism indicators (all P < 0.05). Also, we found significant dose-dependent relationships between adiposity and lipid metabolism indicators and IVF/ICSI early reproductive outcomes (all P < 0.05). The mediation analysis indicated that elevated FPG, 2hPG, FPI, 2hPI, HbA1c, and HOMA2-IR were significantly associated with decreased retrieved oocyte count, MII oocyte count, normally fertilized zygote count, normally cleaved embryo count, high-quality embryo count, or blastocyst formation count after controlling for adiposity and lipid metabolism indicators. Serum TG mediated 6.0–31.0% of the associations; serum TC mediated 6.1–10.8% of the associations; serum HDL-C mediated 9.4–43.6% of the associations; serum LDL-C mediated 4.2–18.2% of the associations; and BMI mediated 26.7–97.7% of the associations.
Conclusions
Adiposity and lipid metabolism indicators (i.e., serum TG, serum TC, serum HDL-C, serum LDL-C, and BMI) are significant mediators of the effect of glucose metabolism indicators on IVF/ICSI early reproductive outcomes in PCOS women, indicating the importance of preconception glucose and lipid management and the dynamic equilibrium of glucose and lipid metabolism in PCOS women.
