Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is expressed in the fibroinflammatory stroma of endometriosis, but its relationship to conventional imaging visibility is unknown. We evaluated FAP expression in deep endometriosis (DE) and …
Endometriosis is a complex chronic condition, driven by estrogen, characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. This often-debilitating disease affects millions of women globally, manifesting as severe …
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with impaired fertility, but the extent to which its systemic inflammatory profile differs from that observed in infertile women without …
Male fertility is declining, and synthetic chemicals are a major candidate for causing it. This study investigated the effect of oral consumption of perfluorooctanoic acid on sperm quality and in …
Background: Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological conditions, and the gold standard for its diagnosis is laparoscopy. Cytokeratin fragment 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) has emerged as a potential biomarker …
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pain and immune dysregulation. Omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids and fish-derived bioactive lipids may modulate inflammation and metabolism. This study investigated …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age. Despite extensive research, its …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder frequently associated with infertility. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is involved in inflammatory pathways; however, the clinical relevance of serum TNF-α in relation to infertility …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of functional endometrial tissue, and its fibrotic pathology represents a primary contributor to chronic pain and infertility in …
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
