Elagolix is a short-acting oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist utilized for treating endometriosis-associated pain by rapidly suppressing gonadotropins and estradiol. Although well characterized in Western populations, clinical data regarding its use …
Endometriosis is a chronic, oestrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting up to 10% of reproductive-age women, associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Emerging evidence implicates the vaginal microbiome …
Adult stem cells are thought to drive the regenerative potential of the endometrium and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, however, their identity and defining features remain to be characterized. …
Endometriosis is associated with nociceptive pain, as well as peripheral and central sensitization. Evidence-based treatment suggestions for controlling endometriosis should be based on the convergence of the best scientific evidence, …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can cause many problems such as dipmenorrhea, dyspareunia, pelvic pain, and infertility. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical, demographic, …
A murine model of endometriosis was employed to evaluate the pharmacological efficacy of therapeutic compounds. Endometriosis was modeled by autotransplantation of uterine horn fragments onto the intestinal mesentery in three …
Patients with endometriosis have greater risk of infertility, which is associated with compromised ovarian function. Dysfunction in follicular granulosa cells and hyperactivation of oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ) are evident in …
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 …
Letrozole and other aromatase inhibitors are increasingly recognized as first-line ovulation induction (OI) medications, offering an efficient and physiologic approach to ovarian stimulation that enhances outcomes in reproductive medicine. By …
Estrogens play an important role throughout a woman's life; therefore, disrupting their physiological production will alter hormonal balance with consequences for estrogen-related conditions, such as endometriosis and adenomyosis. The gut …
