Melatonin exchange in infertile women with repeated implantation failures

Background. Repeated implantation failure occurs in approximately 10–15% of women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. One of the important factors is the changed morpho-functional state of the endometrium and chronodestruction in the woman’s body. Objective of t...

description Background. Repeated implantation failure occurs in approximately 10–15% of women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. One of the important factors is the changed morpho-functional state of the endometrium and chronodestruction in the woman’s body. Objective of the study: to determine the characteristics of melatonin (MT) metabolism in infertile women with repeated implantation failures in IVF-ET cycles. Material and methods. 103 women of reproductive age with infertility and repeated implantation failures who were treated in IVF-ET cycles were observed. Depending on the onset of pregnancy in the current IVF-ET cycle, women were divided into 2 groups: group A – 35 women with the onset of pregnancy, group B – 68 patients without the onset of pregnancy. The control group (group C) included 32 healthy fertile women. The MT level in blood serum and 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (aMT6s) in urine was determined. Results. The initial levels of MT in patients of group A (11.38 ± 0.38 pg/ml) and in group B (9.55 ± 0.27 pg/ml) were lower than in group C (13.67 ± 0.65 pg/ml) in 1.20 (p < 0.01) and 1.43 (p < 0.01) times, respectively. At the same time, the level of MT in women of group A was 1.19 times higher than in the group B (p < 0.03). Excretion of aMT6s in urine in group A (5.09 ± 0.19 ng/ml Cr) and in group B (3.03 ± 0.09 ng/ml Cr) were lower than in group C (6.12 ± 0.21 ng/ml Cr) respectively in 1.20 (p < 0.01) and 2.02 (p < 0.01) times. The aMT6s concentration in urine in patients of group A was 1.68 times higher than in group B (p < 0.01). A direct relationship was established between the levels of serum MT and urinary aMT6s, which was most adequately approximated by a polynomial dependence: y  = 0.0139x2 – 0.1127x + 3.2978, R² = 0.2994, r = 0.51, p < 0.01. Conclusions. Women with repeated implantation failures are characterized by a decrease in the level of MT in blood serum and its main metabolite aMT6s in urine, which may be one of the key factors of implantation failure.
