PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of moderate to severe endometriosis on mRNA expression of growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) in the granulosa cells of mature follicles. METHODS: Follicular fluid (FF) was obtained from 13 patients w…
PURPOSE: Examination of the mitochondrial mRNA expression in granulosa cells from an unspecified population of infertile patients to evaluate whether recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (recFSH) is more effective in producing higher qu…
BACKGROUND: The resistance of endometriotic tissue to progesterone can be explained by alterations in the distribution of progesterone receptor (PR) and estrogen receptor (ER) isoforms. The aims of this study were to examine the expressions…
Background Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases associated with infertility. Endometriosis may affect the androgen receptor (AR) mRNA expression in human granulosa cells and the methylation of the promoter region o…
