Each month, the endometrium is shed, regenerated, and transformed in response to changing hormone levels. These processes occur in a tightly regulated manner, and irregularities are linked with reproductive health …
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 …
Endometriosis is a condition characterized by the growth of tissue similar to the uterine lining outside the uterus. This study aimed to evaluate certain sex hormones and determine the levels …
To evaluate the efficacy of oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists versus placebo for treatment of endometriosis-associated pain and to compare individual antagonists indirectly for dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain.
Ovarian function relies on a network of well-coordinated molecular mechanisms that regulate follicular development, oocyte maturation, ovulation, and corpus luteum function. When these processes are disrupted, infertility can result. Extracellular …
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 …
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to systematically assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided therapy of ovarian endometriosis cyst (OEC). Several databases were searched to gather published studies on the efficacy …
Ovarian endometrioma is a common form of endometriosis associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and diminished ovarian reserve. Although anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is widely used to evaluate ovarian reserve, it …
The menstrual cycle is one of the most fundamental biological rhythms in human physiology, yet its systemic molecular changes remain poorly understood. Here we show that the menstrual cycle is …
