We investigated whether ovarian endometriomas uniformly express functional FSH receptors (FSHR) and respond to FSH by activating transcriptional programs that drive aromatase and steroid hormone production. Endometrioma cyst capsules were …
Background: The individual and social burden of endometriosis is high, and the diagnosis is usually delayed by 7-10 years. Menstrual effluent (ME) represents an accessible and uniquely informative biofluid. This …
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-associated pain has debilitating effects on the quality of life of patients. Despite its high prevalence in reproductive-aged women, the pathophysiology is still unknown, impeding the development of targeted treatment …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Cytochrome P450 aromatase which encoded by CYP19A1 is a key enzyme in the pathway of estrogen biosynthesis. cAMP response element (CRE) binding protein (CREB) and …
The interaction between vitamin D and the immune system is perhaps the most well recognised extraskeletal facet of vitamin D, encompassing early studies of therapy for TB and leprosy through …
Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic gynaecological disorder, but its cause is still unclear, and both genetic and environmental factors may contribute disease aetiology. Prominent amongst the latter is vitamin D …
This study investigated the effect of Luoshi Neiyi Formula(LSNYF) on hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) and steroidogenic factor 1(SF-1) in endometriosis(EMs), aiming to explore the mechanism of Luoshi Neiyi Formula in treating EMs. …
