Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
Recent studies have disputed the association between bisphenol A (BPA) and endometriosis. This updated meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of BPA exposure on endometriosis.
Sex hormone related disorders, characterized by complex etiology and long-term health risks, pose a significant challenge to global health. Hormone-based therapies are often accompanied by adverse effects and fail to …
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) or carcinoid tumors are rare neoplasms originating from neuroendocrine cells, most commonly found in the appendix. While NETs are often asymptomatic, they may present with abdominal pain, …
Vitamin D a fat-soluble steroid hormone signals through Vitamin D Receptors (VDRs) located throughout the ovaries, uterus, placenta, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland, influencing immune regulation and female reproductive physiology. This …
Growing evidence highlights the role of microbiota, including those of the gut, reproductive tract, and endometrial tissue, as critical functional drivers in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM). Studies have revealed …
To investigate whether ovarian endometrioma is associated with disruption of the endocrine-regulated transition between the anti-adhesive modulator podocalyxin (PCX) and the adhesive modulator leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in the endometrium.
This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying luteolin's therapeutic effects on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis (EM), thereby providing a theoretical foundation for developing novel treatment strategies. …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a global concern for human health and the environment. EDCs include plasticizers, pharmaceutical agents, industrial chemicals, fungicides, and pesticides. Thus, EDC exposure is a manmade consequence …
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals implicated in reproductive dysfunction. Epidemiologic evidence examining their association with endometriosis remains inconsistent. Thus, we conducted a PRISMA-compliant systematic review and …
