β-Glucuronidase (β-G, EC 3.2.1.31) reverses phase II glucuronidation, and microbial β-G at the gut-liver interface reactivates biliary and circulating conjugates, closing enterohepatic loops for drugs, estrogens, bile acids, and bilirubin. …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that interfere with hormone signalling and are increasingly linked to adverse reproductive outcomes. This viewpoint highlights emerging evidence that EDC exposure disrupts both …
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) encompasses a heterogeneous group of debilitating conditions including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), chronic abacterial prostatitis, endometriosis, and pelvic congestion syndrome, among others. Despite advances …
To compare clinical features, treatment responses, and survival outcomes between endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) and high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), with a focus on platinum resistance.
Endometriosis is a disease where cells similar to those of the uterine lining grow outside of the uterus, embedding into tissues and organs in the abdominal cavity, forming lesions and …
GPR30 (G-protein coupled receptor 30) plays a key role in regulating reproductive processes, particularly through estrogen signaling. Previous studies have linked GPR30 polymorphisms to female reproductive disorders such as infertility, …
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is associated with chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, oestrogen-dependent growth, oxidative stress, altered steroid hormone metabolism, compromised epithelial barrier integrity, and the production of bioactive microbial metabolites. …
Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory condition affecting around 10% of reproductive-age women, characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus. The effects of endometriosis include chronic pelvic …
Intestinal endometriosis is a benign gynecological condition that frequently involves the rectosigmoid colon. Its synchronous occurrence with colorectal cancer is exceptionally rare and diagnostically challenging, particularly when mimicking a second …
