Introduction Scientific evidence has shown that regular physical activity (PA) is beneficial to health. However, no consensus has been reached on the association between PA and the success rates of …
Background/Objectives: Oxidative stress is a critical factor in the development and progression of endometriosis. Granulosa cells, which reside near oocytes in follicles, exhibit steroidogenic activity, and, consequently, influence oocyte quality. …
A reduced fertilization rate is a frustrating condition for patients and embryologists. This study aimed develop a statistical metric, LOW FERTILIZATION, to determine whether a distinct pathological entity underlies reduced …
Endometriosis (E) is multifactorial disease affecting around 10% of women worldwide. The association between E and infertility is clinically well recognized. For E patients to achieve a successful pregnancy, assisted …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to pelvic pain and infertility. Recent studies have indicated that immunological, endocrine, biochemical, and genetic irregularities, along with suboptimal quality of oocytes, …
Does the presence of endometriosis and/or adenomyosis, adversely affect oocyte morphology?
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are vital for oocyte development, yet the redox state of peritoneal fluid may differ between health and disease. This study investigates the effects of peritoneal fluid …
We aimed to examine abnormal oxidative lipid levels and their related mechanisms in EM-associated infertility. Through liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis, decreased levels of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which have …
This systematic review and meta-analysis (CRD42024588171) compared the effectiveness of surgery followed by IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) with direct IVF/ICSI (i.e. without previous surgery) on the reproductive outcomes of infertile …
Organ functions generally decline with age, but the ovary is a prototypical organ that undergoes functional loss over time. Autophagy plays a crucial role in maintaining organ homeostasis, and age-related …
