Endocrine assays, lipoproteins, homocysteine determinations and ultrasound evaluation were performed in all women before and after the procedure.Ovulatory and pregnancy rates and clinical outcome were assessed.Results: After the procedure, serum T, LH, homocysteine levels and LH-FSH ratio were signifi cantly lower than at baseline (0.93±0.15 vs 0.67±0.11 ng/ml, p
