BACKGROUND: This research delves into exploring the nexus between lipid profiles and pro-inflammatory cytokines in both blood and follicular fluid (FF). It examines their impact on assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes and the pro…
Abstract Study question Whether abdominal obesity can change the decidualization induction potential in PCOS patients? Summary answer We hypothesized that considering the inflammatory origin of abdominal obesity, it may affect decidualizati…
BACKGROUND: Inflammation and its master regulator, Nuclear Factor-kB (NF-kB), have been implicated in the development of endometriosis. Inhibition of NF-kB pathway using small molecules ameliorated disease progression and reduced the lesion…
Abstract Study question Does inhibiting nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) signaling by aloe-emodin (AE) or aspirin (Asp), as anti-inflammatory compounds, suppress the invasive activity of stage IV human endometriotic stromal cells? Summary answer E…
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to describe the association between luteinizing hormone (LH)/ follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio and demographic variables and maturation stage of oocytes in insulinresistant and insulin-sen…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the levels of two oxidative stress (OS) markers including lipid peroxide (LPO) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in both serum and follicular fluid (FF) of women with endometriosis after puncture. …
