BACKGROUND: Extragonadal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor (FSHR) expression in various cancers and their endothelial vessel cells has highlighted novel opportunities for targeted FSHR therapy. METHODS: We investigated the specifi…

BACKGROUND: Extragonadal follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) expression at low levels has been shown in several normal and tumor tissues, including myometrium and adipose tissue. FSH-FSHR signaling in the myometrium has been sugges…

Expression of the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), besides gonadal tissues, has recently been detected in several extragonadal normal and tumorous tissues, including different types of primary and metastatic cancer and tumor ve…

Endometriosis has been considered as an estrogen (E2)-dependent and progesterone (P4)-resistant disease. On the other hand, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) has been suggested as a significant modulator of ovarian pathology, acting via both LPA …

CONTEXT: FSH receptor (FSHR), besides being expressed in gonads, is also expressed in some extragonadal tissues at low levels. OBJECTIVE: We examined the functional expression of FSHR in different types of endometriotic lesions. DESIGN: E…

OBJECTIVE: Infertility seems to be a great worldwide problem. Many publications present the epidemiology of infertility, but the percentage distribution of factors responsible for infertility varies significantly. The objective was to defin…

Epidemiological and clinical studies have revealed that vitamin A and its derivatives (carotenoids and retinoids) can reduce the risk of ovarian tumours and may have a role in the metabolism of patients with ovarian cancer. The aim of the s…
