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
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the world's greatest produced chemicals. BPA is present in various consumer goods that are commonly used in daily life. It was considered an endocrine disruptor and effects on spermatogenesis and male fertility. To assessment the impact of BPA on male reproductive via evaluation the correlation the concentrations of BPA in blood serum with male reproductive hormone. The study was conducted on 28 men recorded at the High Institute for Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies /Al-Nahrain University, private clinic (AL-Zahawi) and Babel Teaching Hospital for Women and Children from January 2022 to April 2022. The blood serum was collected from men. The blood serum samples were assayed the FSH, LH, testosterone and prolactin hormones by mini VIDAS. The residual samples of blood serum were examined BPA concentrations. The measuring of BPA concentration in blood serum by using ELASA Kits. The result of hormones revealed that the correlation between concentrations of BPA and prolactin hormone was slightly positive in blood serum (r = 0.225). There is not detected relationship between BPA and FSH. The BPA concentrations were correlated a negative with testosterone in blood serum (r = - 0.599). Whereas, the LH was correlated slightly positive with blood serum BPA. This study indicated that the BPA in blood serum were highly concentration and there was proof that BPA could effect on male reproductive hormone.
