Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease including aberrant local steroidogenesis, inflammation, angiogenesis, oxidative stress, and prostaglandin-mediated pain. Given the elevated adrenergic receptor expression in endometriotic lesions and the potential …
Bisphenols and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals with widespread human exposure and growing concern regarding their reproductive toxicity. This review integrates current experimental and epidemiologic …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder influenced by dysregulated steroidogenesis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Bisphenol A (BPA), a common endocrine disruptor, has been associated with reproductive dysfunction, but its developmental impacts …
We investigated whether ovarian endometriomas uniformly express functional FSH receptors (FSHR) and respond to FSH by activating transcriptional programs that drive aromatase and steroid hormone production. Endometrioma cyst capsules were …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, organochlorine pesticides, and heavy metal ions, pose serious threats to reproductive health by interfering with hormonal balance and molecular signaling pathways. Recent …
Ovarian fibrosis is increasingly recognized as a pivotal factor contributing to ovarian aging, dysfunction and female infertility. It results from chronic or repetitive ovarian injury, such as that caused by …
Human infertility represents a multifaceted condition, with oxidative stress (OS) and microRNAs (miRNAs) emerging as key contributors to its pathophysiology. This comprehensive review explores the complex interplay between reactive oxygen …
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. …
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 …
Endometriosis-associated pain has debilitating effects on the quality of life of patients. Despite its high prevalence in reproductive-aged women, the pathophysiology is still unknown, impeding the development of targeted treatment …
