Since the development of ART, embryos have been cultured at 37 °C in an attempt to mimic the in vivo conditions and the average body temperature of an adult. However, a gradient of temperatures within the reproductive tract has been demonst…

The aim of the present case-control study was to develop a noninvasive adjuvant tool for the diagnosis of endometriosis. Serum samples from 100 patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection were split into two groups according to the…

This observational study aimed to establishing a relationship between lipid peroxidation and endometriosis in women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. A total of 79 women were divided into two groups: (i) controls (tubal or mal…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition that affects 10-32% of women of reproductive age and may lead to infertility. The study of protein profiles in follicular fluid may assist in elucidating possible biomarkers related to this…

PurposeThe aim of the present study was to analyze the lipid profile of follicular fluid from patients with endometriosis and endometrioma who underwent in vitro fertilization treatment (IVF).MethodsThe control group (n = 10) was composed o…

Endometriosis is a gynecological disease that affects women of reproductive age. The protein profiles of women with endometriosis who were able or unable to achieve pregnancy and women without endometriosis who did achieve pregnancy were co…

PurposeThis research proposed to study the changes in lipid composition in cumulus cells (CCs) from women who achieved pregnancy compared with women who did not, after in vitro fertilization treatment. This approach has the potential to pro…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate protein expression profile and quantify the proteins present in follicular fluid (FF) samples from women with endometriosis and pregnant women without endometriosis. METHODS: A prospective c…

Endometriosis, a chronic gynecological disease characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, is associated to infertility. Many studies report that pregnancy rates are lower in women with endomet…
