A Narrative Review of Recent Insights on Nerve Growth Factor Signaling in Physiological and Pathological Ovarian Processes in Mammals
Biomolecules ·doi:10.3390/biom16050699

Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a member of the neurotrophin family, is currently regarded as a key regulator of ovarian physiology beyond its well-known neurotrophic functions. The mammalian ovary is one of the most highly innervated peripheral…

Increased levels of proapoptotic markers in normal ovarian cortex surrounding small endometriotic cysts
Reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/j.repbio.2019.08.002

Endometriosis can impair fertility by reducing ovarian reserve and the production of good-quality oocytes. The surgical removal of endometriotic lesions is generally recommended for women who wish to conceive. In this paper we studied wheth…

VEGFR2 Expression Is Differently Modulated by Parity and Nulliparity in Mouse Ovary
BioMed research international ·doi:10.1155/2018/6319414

Parity and nulliparity exert opposite effects on women's health, as parity is considered a protective factor for several reproductive diseases. This study is aimed at determining if ovarian VEGF and VEGFR2 expression are differently modulat…

Fine morphological assessment of quality of human mature oocytes after slow freezing or vitrification with a closed device: a comparative analysis.
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-12-110

BackgroundHuman mature oocytes are very susceptible to cryodamage. Several reports demonstrated that vitrification might preserve oocyte better than slow freezing. However, this is still controversial. Thus, larger clinical, biological and …

Follicular fluid hormonal profile and cumulus cell gene expression in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with recombinant FSH: effects of recombinant LH administration.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-012-9893-9

PurposeDown-regulation with gonadodropin-releasing agonist (GnRH-a) protocol during IVF stimulation leads to a severe endogenous LH suppression, which may affect the follicular development. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects o…
