About

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between dietary total antioxidant capacity, phytochemical index, inflammatory index, dietary polyphenol intake and ongoing pregnancy outcome in couples receiving IVF treatment.

In this context, the objectives are:

Determining the relationship between diet's antioxidant capacity, phytochemical index, inflammatory index, and dietary polyphenol intake and ongoing pregnancy outcome, Determining the relationship between total serum antioxidant capacity, serum oxidant capacity and CRP levels and ongoing pregnancy outcome, It is the determination of the relationship between body composition and ongoing pregnancy.

With this study, it is aimed to obtain reliable data on the effects of diet's antioxidant capacity, phytochemical index and dietary polyphenol intake and inflammatory index on reproductive functions. In this way, it is thought that nutritional recommendations that can be given to patients who will undergo IVF treatment before treatment will be developed.

In this study, which is a first in terms of examining many parameters related to diets of women and men, it will be evaluated whether the parameters to be examined are effective in IVF cycles.

The aims, objectives and hypotheses the researchers put forward within the scope of the study have not been studied extensively before. If the planned project is carried out successfully, new nutritional approaches will be paved in in-vitro fertilization treatment, and it will be possible to contribute to reducing the financial burden of the treatment. In addition, an important step will be taken to increase the total fertility rate (number of children per woman) within the scope of the 11th Development Plan (2019-2023). It also conforms to the 3rd Sustainable Development Goals, "healthy and quality life" (UNDP Turkey 2018)
