OBJECTIVE: To investigate the production and secretion of interleukin (IL)-6 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA and protein by granulosa luteal cells (GCs) in vivo and in vitro in women with and without endometriosis. DESIG…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of severe endometriosis on IVF-ET outcome in women receiving oocytes from the-same donor. DESIGN: A matched case-control study. SETTING: Oocyte donation program at the Instituto Valenciano de Infertilidad…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine milieu in patients with endometriosis on the basis of the measurement of several cytokines in serum and follicular fluid (FF) and in vitro culture of granulosa luteal cells. DESI…
To assess the impact of endometriosis on intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome, we have retrospectively evaluated 980 ICSI cycles, comparing the results of women with and without endometriosis. A total of 101 cycles was identified…
OBJECTIVE: To determine an optimal insemination technique in patients undergoing IVF after failed IUI and the role of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in such cases. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized study in couples with unexplained …
Several retrospective analyses of our in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and oocyte donation programmes have been carried out in an attempt to gain clinical knowledge of the factors implied in the aetiology of endometriosis-associated infertility…
A retrospective analysis of our in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and oocyte donation programmes was carried out in order to gain clinical knowledge of the factors involved in the aetiology of the endometriosis-associated infertility. Comparison…
OBJECTIVE: To analyze endometrial response (endometrial dating and implantation) to exogenous administration of E2-valerate and P in women with low response to gonadotropins undergoing oocyte donation. DESIGN: Prospective study. A cycle in…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of short-term glucocorticoid administration on embryotoxicity of sera from infertile patients with mild to moderate endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective longitudinal study. SETTING, PATIENTS: Eight infer…
Dehydrogesterone (DH) induces normal endometrial secretory patterns in infertile as well as post-menopausal women, and has been successfully employed in the treatment of luteal-phase defects. The purpose of this study was to compare DH and …
