Association between Gushen Antai recipe intervention and plasma cytokines during early pregnancy following IVF-ET: a cohort study

Key Points

The study aims to explore how the Gushen Antai (GSAT) recipe affects plasma cytokine levels during early pregnancy after IVF-ET.
Cohort study design focusing on early pregnancy outcomes.
Assessment of plasma cytokines including IL-10, TNF-α, and IL-2.
Analysis of associations between GSAT intervention and cytokine levels.
Changes in plasma levels of IL-10, TNF-α, and IL-2 were observed.
Specific fatty acids linked to intestinal microbiota correlated with cytokine alterations.
Improvement in clinical pregnancy rates associated with GSAT intervention.

Abstract

The alteration of plasma cytokine levels (IL-10, TNF-α and IL-2) associated with GSAT intervention was linked to specific fatty acids produced by characteristic intestinal microbiota. These results provide insights into the mechanism underlying the role of the GSAT in improving clinical pregnancy rates.
