Endometriosis can disrupt folliculogenesis due to elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, free radicals, and the apoptotic response in granulosa cells (GCs). It can cause fertility issues in women. To date, …
The adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signalling pathway regulates cell metabolism, inflammation and the immune response. This signalling pathway is essential for maintaining reproductive homeostasis and influencing steroidogenesis, implantation, …
A review of advancements in primordial follicle activation and cyclic recruitment research over the past 25 years is presented. The review examines the latest insights into the mechanisms of primordial …
Ovarian endometriomas (OEMs), cystic formations within the ovaries, are a significant manifestation of endometriosis and present in 20-40% of affected women. Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear, …
Ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a critical factor in female reproductive health and has been implicated in disorders such as …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis has a marked impact on fertility, although the mechanisms behind this relationship remain poorly understood, particularly in cases without significant anatomical distortions or in the context of ovarian …
Inflammation has key biological roles in the battle against pathogens, and additional key processes in development and tissue homeostasis. However, when inflammation becomes chronic it can become a serious medical …
Oxidative stress (OS) is established as a key factor in the etiology of both male and female infertility, arising from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the …
Daily exposure to a mixture of phthalates is unavoidable in humans and poses a risk to reproductive health because they are known endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Specific to female reproductive health, the …
Apigenin is an organic flavonoid abundant in some plants such as parsley, chamomile, or celery. Recently, it has been investigated for several of its pharmacological characteristics, such as its ability …
