We investigated whether ovarian endometriomas uniformly express functional FSH receptors (FSHR) and respond to FSH by activating transcriptional programs that drive aromatase and steroid hormone production. Endometrioma cyst capsules were …
Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and progesterone receptor (PGR) are essential regulators for endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation. Their expression is dysregulated in women with endometriosis-associated infertility. However, the relationship between …
Endometriosis, a complex gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial-like tissue, affects over 10% of women, causing chronic pain and infertility. Despite extensive research, its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, with proposed …
Adenomyosis occurs when endometrial glands and stroma grow within the uterine myometrium. As a clinically significant disease, adenomyosis causes substantial pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. It remains understudied due …
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition with a multifactorial etiology, many aspects of which remain unclear. Emerging evidence suggests a potential association between ASD and clinical manifestations …
Although per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure has been linked to endometriosis, this association remains controversial, and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate this relationship and …
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone pulsatility is under the influence of hypothalamic neuropeptides, especially neurons expressing kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin. These hypothalamic cells are called KNDy neurons. By integrating hormonal and environmental …
Pregnancy requires a supportive uterine environment facilitated by steroid hormone-regulated differentiation of endometrial stromal fibroblasts into decidual cells and tight control of inflammation. Serum response factor (SRF) is a widely …
Steroid receptor coactivators (SRCs) are master regulators of nuclear receptor signaling and play essential roles in female reproductive physiology. By integrating steroid hormone signaling with growth factors and metabolic pathways, …
Objectives: The aim of this study was to review the importance of peritoneal fluid steroid hormone concentrations to understand the mechanism of hormonal medical treatment of endometriosis-associated pain. Design: The …
