Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the
possible influence of follicular fluid (FF)-related hormones and vascular
endothelial factor (VEGF) levels on oocytes, and the resulting effect on
formation of high-quality embryos, to provide a scientific basis for improving
controlled ovarian stimulation. Methods: The levels of hormones
and VEGF in FF were determined by performing enzyme-linked immunoassays.
According to the number of high-quality embryos obtained, the patients were
divided into three groups, and the levels and constitution of hormones and VEGF
in FF were compared. Based on the results of correlation analysis, the number of
oocytes harvested and the concentration of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in
FF were substituted into multiple logistic regression models.
Results: The number of high-quality embryos was negatively
correlated with FSH concentration (correlation coefficient =
