Background Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease associated with pelvic pain, inflammation and infertility. Drugs that modulate the release of chemokines and angiogenic and inflammatory molecules are under eval…

Endocrine disorders play a major role in approximately 8% to 12% of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Indeed, the local hormonal milieu is crucial in both embryo attachment and early pregnancy. Endocrine abnormalities, including thyroid disor…

Endocrine disorders contribute to the pathology of approximately 8% to 12% of recurrent pregnancy losses. Because embryo attachment and early implantation are controlled by the local hormonal milieu, endocrine-related pregnancy failures are…

Purpose Endometriosis may influence different aspects of reproductive physiology including folliculogenesis, ovulation, embryo quality, and fertilization. Recent data demonstrate that patients with endometriosis-associated infertility under…

Purpose Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease affecting women in their Reproductive age and characterized by chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Previous studies have demonstrated the role of neurotrophins (in particular brain-de…

Purpose: Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological diseases affecting women of reproductive age; it is characterized by the presence and growth of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the endometrial cavity. This complex di…

Purpose Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological diseases affecting women of reproductive age; it is characterized by the presence and growth of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the endometrial cavity. This complex dis…

OBJECTIVE: Implantation is a complex phenomenon consisting of the first strong contact between embryo and endometrium. Recent studies have demonstrated that this process is dependent not only on the 'readiness' of the endometrium, but also …

An imbalance between pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors is hypothesized in the pathogenesis of ovarian cystic disease. The aim of the following study was to explore the possible role of free vascular endothelial growth factor recept…

BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is not completely understood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the presence of VEGF, IL-6 and IL-2, in serum and follicular fluid, in patients developing severe OHSS. STUDY…

In a double-blind, placebo controlled study, ipriflavone (600 mg/day, T.D.D.) or identical placebo tablets were given with 500 mg/day of calcium to patients treated with the gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone agonist (Gn-RH-A) leuprorel…
