Endometriosis (EM), a prevalent estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting women of reproductive age, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, resulting in pelvic scarring, pain, and infertility. …
Observational studies suggest a link between blood lipid levels and endometriosis risk, but clinical evidence is limited and causality has not been established. This study aims to clarify this relationship …
Endometriosis and its associated gynecological diseases such as female infertility and primary ovarian failure (POF), impose a long-term disease burden on women. This study aims to explore the causal relationships …
In the present study, a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization approach was utilized to explore potential causal relationships between mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA-CN) and ovary-related reproductive disorders (ORRDs), including ovarian …
Follicular fluid (FF) plays a vital role in the bidirectional communication between oocytes and granulosa cells (GCs), regulating and promoting oocyte growth and development. This fluid constitutes a complex microenvironment, …
Observational studies and animal experiments had suggested a potential relationship between gut microbiota abundance and pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs), but the relevance of this relationship remains to be clarified.
To investigate the associations of the gut microbiota with reproductive system diseases, including female infertility, male infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), primary ovarian failure, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, sexual …
The causality between gut microbiota and endometriosis: a bidirectional mendelian randomization study Running Head:The gut microbiota and endometriosis Frontiers
The family of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17β-HSDs) occupies a prominent place due to its number of isoforms, which carry out a bidirectional transformation (reduction of a steroid carbonyl to alcohol and …
Observational studies have reported an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and endometriosis. We conducted a two-sample and bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis to determine whether those associations are causal. Two-sample …
