Polycystic ovary syndrome is the primary cause of female infertility. Growing evidence suggests that dysregulation of amino acid metabolism plays a significant role in the onset and progression. However, the underlying mechanism remains unc…
BackgroundFollicle dysplasia can cause polycystic ovary syndrome, which can lead to anovulatory infertility. This study explored gene(s) that may contribute to polycystic ovary syndrome.MethodsThree animal models of polycystic ovary syndrom…

To identify a new drug candidate for treating endometriosis which has fewer side effects, a new polymeric nanoparticle gene delivery system consisting of polyethylenimine-grafted chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO-PEI) with hyaluronic acid (HA) …
BACKGROUND: Peritoneal fluid (PF) from patients with endometriosis can inhibit early embryo development via probable functional changes of embryo mitochondria in the early stage of embryo development. The purpose of this study was to determ…
Twelve water channels (aquaporins) are expressed in mammalian reproductive systems, and play very important roles in maintaining water homeostasis in reproductive cells. Impairment of their functions can result in attenuated male and female…
Introduction: Endometriosis, defined as the growth of endometrial tissue outside \nthe uterine cavity is a common gynaecological disorder affecting 10-15% \nof women in their reproductive years. It is a major clinical problem causing in- \n…
OBJECTIVE: Aquaporins (AQPs) may be involved in the occurrence of abnormal uterine bleeding as the mediators between ovarian steroids and cyclic endometrial changes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the characteristics of end…
ObjectiveTo investigate c-fos and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression in the endometrium from women with or without endometriosis throughout the menstrual cycle, and to explore the correlation of c-fos expression with MMP-9 expres…
ObjectiveTo determine matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) levels in sera and peritoneal fluids of women with or without endometriosis-associated infertility and to determine whether MMP-2 had correlation with 17beta-E(2) and P in the sera an…
