Adjunctive vitamin D supplementation in women receiving dienogest therapy for endometriosis: a randomized controlled trial.
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that causes debilitating pain and significantly impairs quality of life. Due to its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, vitamin D has been proposed as …
Mendelian randomization of risk factors for premenstrual disorders.
The causal role of established risk factors for premenstrual disorders (PMDs) remains unclear. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess causality for eight known-risk factors identified through a literature review. …
N-Acetylcysteine in Endometriosis: A Systematic Review of Biological Rationale and Clinical Evidence.
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory and estrogen-dependent disease in which oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and lesion-supportive microenvironmental signaling contribute to lesion development. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a glutathione-replenishing and redox-modulating agent, has …
FOS and Other Genes Linked to Oxidative Stress Are Upregulated in Women Suffering from Endometriosis and Might Negatively Impact the Oocyte Developmental Competence During ICSI.
We aim to elucidate the impact of endometriomas on oocyte developmental competence and identify genetic alterations that may influence ICSI success rates in women of different ages.
