Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that may be influenced by bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical commonly found in food-contact plastics. BPA has been implicated in altered steroidogenesis, immune …
The genitourinary system undergoes a complex development, making it prone to congenital anomalies. Müllerian duct anomalies are among these, affecting the uterus, cervix, and vagina due to errors in ductal …
The gut microbiota plays a crucial function in reproductive well-being and is vital for maintaining fundamental physiological balance. This article surveys the mutual relationships between the gut flora and the …
White adipose tissue is now recognized as an active endocrine organ that secretes numerous bioactive molecules known as adipokines. These proteins regulate essential physiological processes, including energy metabolism, inflammation, and …
Does a natural cycle result in higher clinical pregnancy rates (CPR) with foetal heartbeat compared to an artificial cycle for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) preparation in ovulatory women?
The concept of ferroptosis debuted as a newly defined programmed cell death in 2012. Among programmed cell death mechanisms, ferroptosis stands out as being fundamentally dependent on iron. At the …
