| Abstract: | In this study we sought to investigate the levels of serum protein thiols and cholinesterase levels before and after intrauterine
insemination (IUI).We observed 68% patients showed a decrease in protein thiols and 63% showed a decrease in serum cholinesterase
levels after insemination as compared to their respective pre procedure levels. The fall in thiols was statistically significant
(p=0.021) indicating there is increased oxidative stress after the procedure. However, we could not comment on any reason
for the fall in cholinesterase. Whether the changes in above parameters may have some implication on the overall success rate
of IUI is yet to be ascertained. |
