Introduction: Anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol are endogenous agonists of the cannabinoid receptors and regulate and control many cellular functions. Their activities are governed by enzymes and proteins that regulate their …
Adenomyosis can lead to infertility and failure of in vitro fertilization. Limited evidence suggests that the use of long-term treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists followed by frozen-thawed embryo transfer …
Israel is a regional "hotspot" of plastic pollution, with little discussion of potential adverse health effects from exposure to plastic. This review aims to stimulate discussion and drive policy by …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent, proinflammatory disease that can cause various dysfunctions. The main clinical manifestations of endometriosis include chronic pelvic pain and impaired fertility. The disease is characterized by …
Endometriosis is delineated as a benign yet steroid-dependent disorder characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial glandular and stromal cells outside the uterine cavity, affecting estimated 10%-15% of women of …
Conventional human stress responses are mediated by the sympathetic adrenal medullar (SAM) axis and the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. The SAM axis mediates the immediate response to stress through …
In this focused genetic case-control study, we analyzed two functional single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) associated with breast cancer risk (rs2046210, rs9383590) and one risk SNV for an implantation defect and infertility …
Melatonin, a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger, has been demonstrated to be effective in gynecological conditions and female reproductive cancers. This review consolidates the accumulating evidence on melatonin's multifaceted …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with an uncertain pathogenesis. Peritoneal immune dysregulation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Exosomes are messengers of intercellular communication. This study …
Endometriosis patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment suffer from poor oocyte quality, a reduced likelihood of the fertilization rate, and low embryo quality. The dysregulation of immune cells …
