GPR30 (G-protein coupled receptor 30) plays a key role in regulating reproductive processes, particularly through estrogen signaling. Previous studies have linked GPR30 polymorphisms to female reproductive disorders such as infertility, rec…
BACKGROUND: Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide. The number of morphologically normal oocytes (MNO) is a key determinant of assisted reproductive technology success. Accurate identification of influencing factors is limited by…
Laparoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing endometriosis; however, it is an invasive and costly method. Recent studies offer a non-invasive approach based on extracellular vesicle miRNA. Despite this, no consensus diagnostic biomarker …
BACKGROUND: Women who undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles should successfully go via multiple stages (i.e., clinical pregnancy, no abortion under 12 weeks, no abortion under 20 weeks, and delivery) to achieve a live birth. In this s…
BACKGROUND: In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a useful assisted reproductive technology to achieve pregnancy in infertile couples. However, it is very important to optimize the success rate after IVF by controlling for its influencing factors…
BACKGROUND: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a multifactorial disorder which affects up to 5% of couples around the world. Several factors are considered to be involved in RPL; but, the etiology remains unexplained in 35-60% of cases. The …
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to describe the association between luteinizing hormone (LH)/ follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio and demographic variables and maturation stage of oocytes in insulinresistant and insulin-sen…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis are defined as a progesterone-resistance disease. Two progesterone receptor (PR) isoforms, namely PR-A and PR-B, mediate the special effects of progesterone. One of the most effective polymorphism in the promoter r…
BACKGROUND: Gelatinases degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) components to allow for physiological remodeling and contribute to pathological tissue destruction in endometriosis. It is known that the function of gelatinases is resistant to sup…
