BACKGROUND: Homeobox genes (HOX) are the basic molecules that regulate endometrial receptivity, decidualization, and progesterone response. This study was designed to investigate the effects of the classical hysterosalpingography (HSG) proc…
OBJECTIVE: This study was planned to investigate possible alteration in the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in eutopic endometrium before and after laparoscopic removal of the ovarian endometrioma. STUDY DESIGN: Six inferti…
The study was designed to investigate whether laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) of ovaries alters the expression levels of HOXA-10 and HOXA-11 mRNA in the endometrium of infertile women with clomiphene-resistant PCOS. Expression of HOXA-1…
The aim of this study was to determine whether endometrioma resection alters most commonly defined endometrial metabolites, lactate (Lac), N-acetylaspartate (NAA), creatine 1 (Cr1), creatine 2 (Cr2), and choline (Cho) during the window of i…
We aimed to investigate whether the surgical removal of endometrioma alters the nuclear factor-kappa B1 (NF-kB1; p50/105) and NF-kB p65 (Rel A) expression in the eutopic endometrium of infertile women with endometrioma before and after lapa…
Regardless of the anatomical locations, some benign gynecological disorders (BGDs) such as peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometrioma, adenomyosis, uterine leiomyomas, endometrial polyps, uterine septum, and hydrosalpinges may lead to i…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether laparoscopic endometrioma resection alters peri-implantation endometrial HOXA-10, HOXA-11, LIF, ITGB3 and ITGAV mRNA expression. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: Medical school. PATIENT(S): Twenty infe…
Mammalian reproduction is a costly process in terms of energy consumption. The critical information regarding metabolic status is signaled to the hypothalamus mainly through peripheral peptides from the adipose tissue and gastrointestinal t…
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to evaluate plasma concentrations of salusin-α and salusin-β levels in women with endometrioma and non-endometriotic benign ovarian cysts. METHOD: Endometrioma patients (n = 14), non-endometriotic…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether concentrations of oxidative stress markers of follicular fluid and serum are different in GnRH agonist protocol from GnRH antagonist protocol. MATERIAL AND METHOD: This was a cross-sectional study. Eighty-fo…
We aimed to investigate whether the surgical removal of endometrioma alters the nuclear factor-kappa B1 (NF-kB1; p50/105) and NF-kB p65 (Rel A) expression in the eutopic endometrium of infertile women with endometrioma before and after lapa…
PURPOSE: The current study investigated the potential therapeutic efficiency of atosiban, an oxytocin receptor antagonist, in an experimental endometriosis model. METHODS: Endometriosis was surgically induced in 35 female rats during estru…
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate [PDTC; a nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) inhibitor] and bortezomib (Velcade; a proteasome inhibitor) on the development of experimental en…
In this experimental study on endometriosis, the majority of the implants were successfully detected with technetium-(99mTc) labeled red blood cell scintigraphy.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopic (MRS) features of pelvic lesions using long echo time and to characterize the spectral patterns of various pathological entities. MATERIALS…
BACKGROUND: The purposes of this study were to compare proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic evaluation of the endometrium with histology obtained by endometrial biopsy in women undergoing diagnostic curettage and to determine whethe…
