As the mean age of first-time mothers increases in the industrialized world, inquiries into causes of human reproductive senescence have followed. Rates of ovulatory dysfunction and oocyte aneuploidy parallel chronological age, but poor rep…
CONTEXT: Human embryonic implantation is regulated by neuroendocrine hormones, ovarian steroids, growth factors, and cytokines. Sympathetic innervation of the uterus also may play a role. OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that cabergoline…
Background: Previous Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) work demonstrated prior oral contraceptive (OC) use was associated with lower coronary artery disease (CAD) in women with suspected ischemia. The association of prior OC use w…
ContextImplantation is a reproductive bottleneck in women, regulated by fluctuations in ovarian steroid hormone concentrations. However, other nuclear receptor ligands are modifiers of endometrial differentiation leading to successful pregn…
Human blastocyst nidation in the uterus and successful pregnancy require coordinated endometrial expression of estrogen receptor (ER)-α, progesterone receptors (PR)-A and -B and the gap junction protein, connexin (Cx)43. Our prior work esta…
Inflammation can interfere with endometrial receptivity. We examined how interleukin 1β (IL-1β) affects expression of the uterine gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43), which is known to be critical for embryonic implantation. We used an …
Human endometrial stromal decidualization is required for embryo receptivity, angiogenesis, and placentation. Previous studies from our laboratories established that connexin (Cx)-43 critically regulates endometrial stromal cell (ESC) diffe…
Specific alterations in the pulsatility of luteinizing hormone (LH) are linked to obesity-related subfertility in ovulatory women. Vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) are an Old World nonhuman primate that develops obesity and has…
The role of sex steroid hormones in reproductive function in women is well established. However, in the last two decades it has been shown that receptors for estrogens, progesterone and androgens are expressed in non reproductive tissue /or…
BackgroundSubfertility due to chronic anovulation is common in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and is often treated with IVF. Women with PCOS have an increased ovarian follicle and oocyte count, increased ovarian reserve and/or …
Experimental evidence is accumulating to suggest that medicinal botanicals have anti-inflammatory and pain-alleviating properties and hold promise for treatment of endometriosis. Herein, we present a systematic review of clinical and experi…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether pelvic endometriosis impairs the efficacy of GIFT. DESIGN: Matched follow-up study. SETTING: University-based assisted reproduction program. PARTICIPANTS: Patients undergoing GIFT between 1987 and 1991. Ca…
A standard infertility evaluation consists of a semen analysis, hysterosalpingogram, post-coital test, endometrial biopsy and laparoscopy. Although these tests are well grounded in clinical experience, information on their ability to discri…
