OHSS is an iatrogenic complication associated with ovarian stimulation for the treatment of infertility. Risk factors include low body weight, high follicle count and elevated serum estradiol. Vasoactive substances such as vascular endothel…
It has been postulated that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues may act directly on endometrial cells and inhibit their growth and proliferation by regulation of apoptotic and angiogenic mechanisms. Eutopic endometrial cells fro…
ObjectiveTo study the effect of letrozole (Let) and anastrozole (Anas) on apoptosis and cell proliferation in epithelial endometrial cells (EEC) from patients with endometriosis (EDT).DesignProspective study.SettingResearch institute and cl…
BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of GnRH analogues on the in-vitro eutopic endometrial cell apoptosis and release of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). METHODS: Bio…
ObjectiveThere is growing evidence that suggests a direct action of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) on endometrial growth. Consequently, our purpose was to evaluate the effect of GnRH-a on in vitro eutopic endometrial cell g…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of administering combination oral contraceptives (COCs) to patients with endometriosis on the regulation of cell growth in the eutopic endometrium. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Research institute …
ObjectiveTo evaluate and compare spontaneous apoptosis and Bcl-2 and Bax expression in eutopic endometrium from women with and without endometriosis.DesignApoptosis and Bcl-2 and Bax expression were examined in eutopic endometrium from wome…
