Brief Summary
In this study, patients with infertility treated with IVF at the Center of Reproductive Medicine in Linköping, Sweden, will receive recipes and food according to Nordic dietary guidelines. The purpose is to investigate whether a short diet intervention is sufficient to improve sperm quality and shift the small non-coding RNA profile. In our previous study sperm showed rapid response to diet.
