To investigate if a positive result on ReceptivaDx for evaluation of B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6), a proposed marker of progesterone resistance associated with impaired uterine receptivity, correlates with a suboptimal …
Background: Inflammation and immune cell dysfunction are critical facilitators of endometriosis pathophysiology. Macrophages are renowned for stimulating lesion growth, vascularization, innervation, and pain generation. By combining macrophages and endometriotic cells, …
Non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are of significant concern due to their reproductive toxicity. Previous research reported a relationship between a single type of EDCs and endometriosis. Yet, evidence regarding mixed …
Siloxanes, commonly known as silicones, are polymeric compounds made up of silicon and oxygen atoms bonded together alternately. Within this group of substances are linear methyl-siloxanes and cyclic methyl-siloxanes, with …
The increase in female reproductive disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and diminished ovarian reserve that lead to subfertility and infertility, has encouraged researchers to search and discover their …
The purpose of our study was to determine the influence of lead and cadmium in concentrations commonly found in the environment on the redox system of the follicular fluid (FF) …
Zearalenone (ZEA), has emerged as a potential endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC). Previous results show ZEA effects on endometrial stromal cell apoptosis, migration, and growth of endometriosis. Despite the reported presence of …
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have been extensively used across numerous industries and consumer goods. Due to their high persistence and mobility, they are ubiquitous in the environment. Exposure to …
Israel is a regional "hotspot" of plastic pollution, with little discussion of potential adverse health effects from exposure to plastic. This review aims to stimulate discussion and drive policy by …
Immune dysfunction is one of the central components in the development and progression of endometriosis by establishing a chronic inflammatory environment. Western-style high-fat diets (HFD) have been linked to greater …
