Introduction Beside Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), immune disorders may impact fertility and could be one of the reasons for infertility. Signs of impaired immune system are auto-immune diseases, often based on genetic predisposition and chronic inflammation. Markers such as auto-immune antibodies, HLA-variants, imbalance of the TH1/TH17/Treg ratios, inflammation markers such as CRP, and leaky gut

Such IgE-mediated, immediately manifesting Type I food allergies usually develop early in life and their prevalence has been increasing, especially in children. Over

Hypertension (HT) is the leading preventable cause of premature death worldwide, and about every third person suffers from hypertension (1). In the long run, high blood pressure damages important organs such as the heart, blood vessels, the brain and the kidneys. Consequential diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, retinal damage or kidney damage result from the damaged vessels

Rheumatism or rheumatic disorders are conditions causing chronic, often intermittent pain affecting the joints, tendons, ligaments, bones, muscles and connective tissue. This disorder includes about 200 different conditions and it is becoming clear that a chronic inflammatory response, also induced by gut dysbiosis, can critically contribute to the development of rheumatic diseases (1,2). They share inflammatory processes affecting joints, tendons, ligaments, bones

Depression is a widespread disease, affecting 350 million people worldwide according to recent WHO data (1). Statistics from 2015 showed, that about 3% of the world’s population is affected by severe depressive disorders (2). Various factors seem to increase the risk and neuroprogression of depressions,such as psychosocial stress, poor diet, physical inactivity, overweight, smoking, altered intestinal permeability, sleep,
