BackgroundChanges in the state of energy balance owing to changes in physical activity (PA) may affect the reproductive system.Objectivethe aim of this study was to assess the association between PA and infertility of women living in Yazd 2…

Introduction: Angiogenesis, growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, is a crucial physiological process for tissue regeneration. This state is also seen in pathological processes such as malignancies and endometriosis. Vascula…

Background: Endometriosis is a common, benign, oestrogen-dependent, chronic gy-naecological disorder associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Some researchers have identified nerve fibers in endometriotic lesions in women with endometri…

Background: Our objective was to evaluate the effect of ovarian endometrioma on ovar-ian stimulation outcomes in in vitro fertilization cycles (IVF). Materials and Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we followed 103 patients who unde…

Background: To evaluate the impact of the association of endometrioma with or without deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) after a first intra cytoplasmic sperm injection- in vitro fertilization (ICSI-IVF) cycle on pregnancy rate. Material…

Objective: The aim of the International Endogene Study is to discover genes that influence susceptibility to endometriosis. Design: The study brings together two research groups based in Australia and the United Kingdom that independently h…

Genitourinary tuberculosis is a common extrapulmonary manifestation of tubercu-losis. Taking into consideration that genitourinary tuberculosis may be associated with a diversity of presentations, its diagnoses may be difficult. A young wom…

We read with interest the manuscript entitled "Serum and peritoneal fluid levels of vascular en-dothelial growth factor in women with endometrio-sis " recently published in the International Journal of Fertility and Sterility (1).…

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease resulting from complex interactions between genetic, hormonal, environmental and oxidative stress and intrinsic inflammatory components. The aim of this study was to investigate t…

Background: Endometriosis is known as one of the most common disease in women of reproductive age. Due to important role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in neo-vascularization for the implantation of endometrial cell, and also …

Background: Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecologic disorders. It is a complex trait and both genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in its pathogenesis. There is growing evidence indicating that exposure to envi…

Background: Despite a high prevalence of endometriosis, there still exist many challenges in diagnosing the disease. This study aims to evaluate non-invasive and practical diagnostic methods by measuring serum and peritoneal fluid CA 125 le…

1 Endometriotic stromal cells lose the ability to regulate cell-survival-signaling in endometrial epithelial cells in vitro

ABSTRACT-Strain CD-1 female mice exposed prenatally to diethylstilbestrol (DES) (CAS: 56-53-1; a,a'-diethyl-4,4'-stilbene-diol) were mated to unexposed males. Female offspring of these matings were raised to the stage of terminal …
