Conclusion | non-PCOS, PCOS | Follicular homocysteine is a suitable reporter that might be investigated as a tool for oocyte-embryo selection. A diet enriched with methyl donors may be useful in PCOS and supplements may also help. These findings may be also true for non-PCOS women, which warrants investigation.The study was approved by the Acibadem... | PMC10371946 | |
