Adipose tissue through the production of many factors, such as leptin, free fatty acids (FFA) and cytokines, can affect the functions of both the ovary and the maturation of oocytes and the receptivity of the endometrial epithelium. Reducing obesity improves women’s reproductive health. The objective of this study is to update documentation on female obesity and infertility. Methods: It was a review of the literature.
