Diet-microbiota interactions influence pregnancy success in females undergoing artificial insemination: insights from the vaginal microbiota and Mediterranean diet
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate how diet, particularly the Mediterranean diet, influences the vaginal microbiota and impacts pregnancy success during artificial insemination.
Analyzed the vaginal microbiota composition of females undergoing artificial insemination.
Evaluated dietary patterns, focusing on adherence to the Mediterranean diet.
Correlated microbiota profiles with pregnancy outcomes.
Strong associations were found between Mediterranean diet adherence and healthy vaginal microbiota.
Positive microbiota profiles correlated with higher pregnancy success rates.
Dietary changes may significantly alter microbiota, suggesting potential enhancements in fertility outcomes.
Abstract
The vaginal microbiota plays a key role in female fertility, yet its interaction with diet and lifestyle remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to assess the influence of the...
