Oxidative stress in endometriosis: Sources, mechanisms and therapeutic potential of antioxidants (Review).

Endometriosis affects ~15% of women of reproductive age worldwide, impacting ~190 million individuals. Despite its high prevalence, the precise pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear. Emerging evidence has highlighted oxidative stress …

Diagnostic accuracy of plasma microRNA as a potential biomarker for detection of endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a complex condition with a wide range of clinical manifestations, presenting significant challenges, particularly for young women. Its diverse and often perplexing presentations pose difficulties within the medical …

Salsalate Negatively Impacts Microvascular Function in Women with Endometriosis.

Women with endometriosis, an inflammatory disease, are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease and demonstrate impaired microvascular endothelial function, characterized by reduced nitric oxide (NO)-mediated vasodilation. In some clinical cohorts, …

LINE-1 ORF1p expression occurs in clear cell ovarian carcinoma precursors and is a candidate blood biomarker.

Long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1) retrotransposons are repetitive sequences that can move within the genome by an autonomous mechanism. To limit their mutagenic potential, benign cells restrict LINE-1 expression through …

Psychological Distress and Quality of Life in Women With Endometriosis: A Narrative Review of Therapeutic Approaches and Challenges.

The chronic gynecological disorder endometriosis is a debilitating condition for women's physical and psychological health. Endometriosis is a disease that causes endometrial-like tissue to grow outside the uterus and causes …

Altered Mitochondrial Morphology and Reduced Cardiolipin Levels in Oocytes of Endometriosis Model Mice: Implications for Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Infertility.

BACKGROUND Women with endometriosis experience significantly reduced fertility, potentially linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. This study investigates the impact of endometriosis on oocyte mitochondrial morphology and cardiolipin levels, key indicators of …

Optimizing infertility treatment for ovarian endometrioma: is surgical intervention preferable before or after in-vitro fertilization programs?

Endometriosis is one of the common endometrial pathologies that occurs in reproductive-age women and could lead to infertility. This study set out to observe which clinical management of endometriosis with …

Addressing the Endometriosis Gap and Promoting Equal Access to Care for Black Women with Endometriosis.

GRB2 regulation of essential signaling pathways in the endometrium is critical for implantation and decidualization.

Over 75% of failed pregnancies involve implantation defects. Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) is an adaptor protein involved in signal transduction and cell communication. Here we show that the …

MCP-1 promotes ILK phosphorylation at Ser246 during endometriosis development and affects the pregnancy outcome.

In women with endometriosis, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) or chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) is elevated in serum, peritoneal fluid, and endometriotic lesions, though its exact role in …
