Human infertility represents a multifaceted condition, with oxidative stress (OS) and microRNAs (miRNAs) emerging as key contributors to its pathophysiology. This comprehensive review explores the complex interplay between reactive oxygen …
Ovarian endometriosis (OE), characterized by endometriotic cysts, adversely affects ovarian function and comprises in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) outcomes. Acupoint application therapy (AAT), which integrates transdermal drug delivery …
Ferroptosis is a novel kind of regulated cell death that occurs when redox equilibrium is disrupted, leading to iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is defined by the buildup of deleterious lipid …
Background/Objectives: Oxidative stress is a critical factor in the development and progression of endometriosis. Granulosa cells, which reside near oocytes in follicles, exhibit steroidogenic activity, and, consequently, influence oocyte quality. …
Endometriosis can disrupt folliculogenesis due to elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, free radicals, and the apoptotic response in granulosa cells (GCs). It can cause fertility issues in women. To date, …
Acupoint Application Improves IVF Outcomes and Rescues Granulosa Cell Steroid Metabolic Dysregulation in Ovarian Endometriosis Frontiers
We aimed to examine abnormal oxidative lipid levels and their related mechanisms in EM-associated infertility. Through liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis, decreased levels of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which have …
Organ functions generally decline with age, but the ovary is a prototypical organ that undergoes functional loss over time. Autophagy plays a crucial role in maintaining organ homeostasis, and age-related …
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a critical regulator of female reproductive physiology, yet existing reviews have focused predominantly on oocytes. The objective of this review is to systematically evaluate the regulatory effects …
Ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a critical factor in female reproductive health and has been implicated in disorders such as …
