This practical work was focused on a population of 24 obese women infertile, compared to controls, subjects without any pathology causing disruption of parameters to be studied to determine the contribution of obesity in the etiology of infertility. The assay results revealed a highly significant difference between the two groups in serum CH, TG, HDL, TGO and TGP (P <0.0001) and in the rate of LDL (p = 0.0017) and CRP (p = 0.02). The present study indicates that obesity is associated with infertility, but no direct pathophysiological link between obesity and infertility has been determined. Further in-depth studies are needed to determine the exact mechanism by which overweight leads to female infertility. }, journal = {International Journal of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {2}, year = {2014}, pages = {105 - 108}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9997547}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/86}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 86, 2014}, }
