Endobiota-Estrobolome Profiles in Reproductive-Aged Women With Ovarian Endometriosis.

This case-control study investigated whether ovarian endometriosis is associated with altered estrogen metabolism and gut or urogenital microbiota by analyzing enzyme activity, bacterial composition, and variations of estrogen metabolites in …

Negative impacts of ovarian endometrioma on preantral follicle development: implications for endometriosis-related infertility.

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder and a leading cause of female infertility. Ovarian endometriomas, a common manifestation of endometriosis, are commonly associated with diminished ovarian function; however, the …

A Narrative Review of Recent Insights on Nerve Growth Factor Signaling in Physiological and Pathological Ovarian Processes in Mammals.

Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a member of the neurotrophin family, is currently regarded as a key regulator of ovarian physiology beyond its well-known neurotrophic functions. The mammalian ovary is one …

Risk, prevalence and survival outcomes of ovarian cancer in women with endometriosis: the ENDOCANCER systematic review and meta-analysis.

Endometriosis is linked to an increased risk of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), especially clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. The extent and prognostic significance of this link are still not fully …

Targeting TLR4 Attenuates Endometriosis Progression by Suppressing NF-κB/NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Angiogenesis.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, yet non-hormonal therapeutic options remain limited. This study investigates the role of the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome axis in endometriosis …

The paradoxical association between endometrioma size and serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels in infertile women.

The impact of endometrioma size on ovarian reserve remains controversial. Although endometriomas are known to reduce anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, some studies suggest a paradoxical association between larger cysts and …

Electroacupuncture ameliorates Endometriosis-Associated ovarian dysfunction by activating Nrf2 pathway to upregulate GPX4 function and inhibiting ferroptosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common cause of ovarian dysfunction and infertility, closely linked to iron overload-induced oxidative stress and ferroptosis. While electroacupuncture (EA) has shown promise in treating reproductive disorders, …

Reduced type 2 epithelial-mesenchymal transition serves as a risk factor for the progression from endometriosis to endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer.

Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer arising from the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS). Despite growing clinical awareness, its underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully …

Symptom Burden in Adenomyosis: A Comparative Analysis With Peritoneal and Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis.

Adenomyosis frequently coexists with endometriosis and shares overlapping symptoms; however, the symptom burden of isolated adenomyosis remains insufficiently defined. The aim of this study was to compare the severity and …

The characterization of patients with premature ovarian failure, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome in women attending comprehensive health centers in Urmia, Iran.
