Background/Objectives: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic gynecological condition associated with infertility, oxidative stress, and altered metabolic regulation. Follicular fluid (FF) reflects the microenvironment of the developing oocyte, and changes in …
Ferroptosis is a novel kind of regulated cell death that occurs when redox equilibrium is disrupted, leading to iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is defined by the buildup of deleterious lipid …
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. …
What is the incidence of endometrioma infections requiring surgical drainage following oocyte retrieval in women with ovarian endometrioma?
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 …
Fertility preservation is an important aspect of care for breast cancer patients. This study was designed to compare the ovarian function including ovarian reserve and ovarian stimulation response in breast …
Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are a heterogeneous group of natural or synthetic chemicals capable of interfering with hormonal regulation. Widely present in plastics, cosmetics, pesticides, food packaging, and household products, they …
Many experimental and clinical studies published so far demonstrate that melatonin-produced mainly by the pineal gland located deep in the middle of the brain, between the two cerebral hemispheres, and …
The female reproductive system (FRS) exhibits unique immunological characteristics, balancing defense against pathogens with tolerance to sperm and semi-allogeneic embryos. Key players include decidual natural killer (dNK) cells, immune checkpoint …
Does surgical management of ovarian endometriomas improve in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)?
