Abstract

Infertility is the disability of a couple to obtain pregnancy after one year of sexual intercourse that is unprotected and regular. Bisphenol A is an industrial chemical spread worldwide, that is a raw material utilized in multiple industries. Bisphenol A is assorted as an endocrine-disrupting chemical, which can interfere with hormone activity. This study aimed to assess the effect of BPA levels in serum on ICSI outcomes. The study was conducted at the High Institute for Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies / Al-Nahrain University during the period from October 2021 to April 2022. sixty infertile women enrolled in this study. BPA levels were analyzed through an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Mean serum BPA was not significantly higher in non-pregnant women in comparison with that of pregnant women. Serum BPA was positively correlated to immature oocytes (MI) and abnormal oocytes. Also, BPA inversely correlated to Grade1 embryos and positively correlated to Grade 3 embryos. Bisphenol A can be detected in sera of infertile female undergoing ICSI. High BPA level in serum may impact oocyte quality and embryo grading
