Endometriosis is a pathological condition characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial cells, leading to chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Epidemiological studies have associated exposure to dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), …
This study aims to identify molecular markers with prognostic value for biochemical pregnancy in follicular fluid (FF) samples from women with endometriosis after assisted reproductive technology (ART) intervention. Levels of …
Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are a heterogeneous group of natural or synthetic chemicals capable of interfering with hormonal regulation. Widely present in plastics, cosmetics, pesticides, food packaging, and household products, they …
This study investigates the proteomic profile of the fallopian tube following exposure to human sperm, with a focus on its role in sperm capacitation, final sperm maturation, successful fertilization, and …
Many experimental and clinical studies published so far demonstrate that melatonin-produced mainly by the pineal gland located deep in the middle of the brain, between the two cerebral hemispheres, and …
Ectopic pregnancy (EP) and tubal endometriosis (TEM) directly affect the fallopian tube structure and function, while ovarian cysts (OC) and uterine fibroids (UF) may indirectly influence tubal physiology. These conditions …
Performing Endometriosis is an autopathographic piece, written and performed by VR and directed by MM (coauthors of the present article). Divided into very short scenes (called Glimpses), Performing Endometriosis is …
Adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent disease featuring chronic inflammation. This study was undertaken to investigate whether the vagal tone is reduced in patients with adenomyosis as compared with healthy women. We …
The female reproductive system represents a highly complex regulatory network governing critical physiological functions, encompassing reproductive capacity and endocrine regulation that maintains female physiological homeostasis. The in vitro simulation system …
Alarelin acetate, a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue, is widely used to manage endometriosis and hormone-sensitive malignancies. Although its safety profile is generally favorable, we report the first documented case …
