Abstract:
According to the World Health Organization, infertility affects one in six couples worldwide, highlighting the relevance of strategies to preserve women's reproductive health. In this review, we consider the impact of various medical and social factors, such as sleep quality, anxiety, depression, lifestyle, level of education, income, etc., on fertility. Particular attention is paid to the modifiability of these factors, which opens up additional opportunities for preventing and treating infertility. The association between the adjustment of medical and social factors and improved outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization, is emphasized. Attention to medical and social factors and their adjustment is an important direction for improving fertility and the success of infertility prevention and treatment, and further research and implementation in clinical practice are also required.

Factors Affecting Drug Biotransformation: Biological
Species differences: Variations in enzyme systems across species can cause disparities in drug metabolism. For instance, humans may metabolize certain drugs faster than rodents, altering therapeutic effects.
Strain differences: Genetic variations within a species can result in differing enzyme activity, impacting drug response and toxicity. For example, some mouse strains may...
