BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated to play a vital role in development, differentiation, cell proliferation and apoptosis. However, which miRNAs are actually associated with endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer remains c…
Background: To investigate the effect of the methylation rate of the androgen receptor (AR) promoter region in granulosa cells in patients with endometriosisinduced infertility. Method: Eighteen patients with moderate to severe endometriosi…
Aim: To investigate which risk factors contribute to a lower oocyte retrieval ratio in women who are receiving controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. Methods: The authors retrospectively analyzed 329 in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles under …
The pathogenesis of endometriosis, a chronic painful gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue located outside of the uterus and often adhering to the peritoneum, is known to be estrogen dependent. However, t…
Representative examples of sequential immunohistochemical sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin (b and e), anti-BimEL Abs (a, d, and g) and anti-FSH receptor Ab (c and f). The granulosa cells of each follicle were scored “negative” if…
Purpose: To investigate the effect of moderate to severe endometriosis on mRNA expression of growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) in the granulosa cells of mature follicles. Methods: Follicular fluid (FF) was obtained from 13 patients wi…
Although endometriosis is suspected to be a cause of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), the mechanism(s) underlying this process have not been elucidated. Recently, androgens were shown to promote oocyte maturation and to play a role in…
Dienogest, a synthetic progestin, has been shown to be effective against endometriosis, although it is still unclear as to how it affects the ectopic endometrial cells. Decorin has been shown to be a powerful endogenous tumor repressor acti…
Background Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases associated with infertility. Endometriosis may affect the androgen receptor (AR) mRNA expression in human granulosa cells and the methylation of the promoter region o…
