摘要
Haptoglobin (Hp) possesses many functions in the immune system and angiogenesis as well as scavenging released hemoglobin, and thus it is speculated that Hp may also play a critical role in the reproductive process, To investigate the possible involvement of Hp in the outcome of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), the serum Hp of 50 patients who underwent IVF-ET was analyzed by the Western blot method. The results showed a higher pregnancy rate in the patients with the Hp2-2 phenotype (38%) than in those with the Hp2-1 phenotype (16%) (p = 0.08), and the serum alpha2 subunit levels in the patients who achieved pregnancy within four attempts at IVF-ET were higher than in the others (p < 0.05), The results of this study suggest that Hp is involved in the outcome of IVF-ET, Copyright (C) 2001 S.
