Impact of Current-Use Pesticides on Diminished Ovarian Reserve: Potential Mediating Role of Inflammatory Factors
Abstract Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), often leading to infertility, can be influenced by environmental pollutants. As one of the most widespread pollutants, the association between current-use pesticides (CUPs) and DOR remains unclear. In this nested case–control study including 112 DOR cases and 112 controls, 29 CUPs and 27 inflammatory factors were analyzed to explore the individual and combined impact of CUPs on DOR and the mediating role of inflammation. Logistic regression analysis revealed five CUPs show …
