Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Measurment of serum cytokine levels in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study before the start of the intervention and two months after the start of astaxanthin. Method of measurement: ELIZA.;Measuring the expression level of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway genes in patients' granulosa cells. Timepoint: Two months after the start of astaxanthin. Method of measurement: Real time PCR test.;Measuring the level of expression of the phosphorylated and dephosphorylated form of beta-catenin protein. Timepoint: Two months after the start of astaxanthin. Method of measurement: Western blot test.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Checking the quality of oocytes. Timepoint: Two months after taking astaxanthin. Method of measurement: Observation with inverted microscope.;Checking the rate of fertilization fertilization. Timepoint: Two months after taking astaxanthin. Method of measurement: Observation with microscope.
