Analysis of the methylation rate of theandrogen receptor promoter region ingranulosa cells in moderate to severeendometriosis patients undergoing controlledovarian hyperstimulation

Background: To investigate the effect of the methylation rate of the androgen receptor (AR) promoter region in granulosa cells in patients with endometriosisinduced infertility. Method: Eighteen patients with moderate to severe endometriosi…

The detection of apoptosis using BimEL staining in primordial and growing follicles in endometriosis patients.
·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0115618.g001

Representative examples of sequential immunohistochemical sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin (b and e), anti-BimEL Abs (a, d, and g) and anti-FSH receptor Ab (c and f). The granulosa cells of each follicle were scored “negative” if…

A Low-Testosterone State Associated with Endometrioma Leads to the Apoptosis of Granulosa Cells
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0115618

Although endometriosis is suspected to be a cause of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), the mechanism(s) underlying this process have not been elucidated. Recently, androgens were shown to promote oocyte maturation and to play a role in…

Analyzing the possible involvement of anti-Müllerian hormone and anti-Müllerian hormone receptor II single nucleotide polymorphism in infertility
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-013-0134-7

PURPOSE: We performed TaqMan genotyping assays of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type II (AMHRII) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in order to investigate how their frequency and distribution affect i…
