Bisphenol S (BPS) is a chemical analogue of Bisphenol A (BPA) used in the production of hard plastics, textiles, and thermal papers. As the use of BPA has declined, BPS …
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 …
Mangroves are valuable reservoirs of diverse phytochemicals with significant therapeutic potential. Beyond their ecological roles, these bioactive compounds can influence epigenetic mechanisms, heritable changes in gene expression without alterations in …
Decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) precedes the successful implantation of a human embryo. Improper decidualization has been reported in numerous conditions associated with infertility including endometriosis. Multiple pathways, …
The pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis may involve a complex combination of multiple factors, including chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Hormonal therapy, the current standard for pharmacotherapy in endometriosis, causes …
Phthalates (PAEs), typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that accumulate in the human body to induce reproductive toxicity, have epidemiological links to endometriosis (EM), but the underlying micro-mechanisms remain unclear. Ferroptosis is …
Environmental exposures are increasingly linked to reproductive dysfunctions such as endometriosis, ovarian insufficiency, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Through endocrine disruption, oxidative stress, and epigenetic pathways, heavy metals (such as …
Natural polyphenolics, more specifically flavonoids and derivatives, constitute chemically versatile scaffolds with a broad biological potential. In this study, different flavonoid derivatives (1-37) were assessed for cytotoxicity in Ishikawa and …
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 …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a gynecological inflammatory disease that depends on estrogen. Its chief symptoms include dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, reduced fertility, and pelvic masses. Although various hormonal therapies and surgical …
