Mechanisms of reproductive toxicity and endocrine disruption of bisphenols and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): Implications for women's reproductive health.
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 …
Role of soluble EGFR, Fas, and Fas ligand in pelvic pain severity and their association with endometriosis in infertile woman: a case-control study.
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition linked to pelvic pain and infertility, is characterized by immune dysfunction involving dysregulated apoptosis and cell proliferation. This case-control study included 87 infertile women undergoing …
Prediction of endometrial tissue PFAS concentrations using serum levels, demographic, and reproductive factors: Findings from the Investigating Mixtures of Pollutants and Endometriosis in Tissue (IMPLANT) study.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) accumulate in reproductive tissues, yet most studies rely on serum measurements. It remains unclear whether serum concentrations adequately reflect levels in target tissues. We evaluated …
