The effect of peritoneal fluid from patients with endometriosis on mitochondrial function and development of early mouse embryos
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0082334

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal fluid (PF) from patients with endometriosis can inhibit early embryo development via probable functional changes of embryo mitochondria in the early stage of embryo development. The purpose of this study was to determ…

Attenuated oocyte fertilization and embryo development associated with altered growth factor/signal transduction induced by endometriotic peritoneal fluid
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2009.11.011

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the embryotoxic effect of peritoneal fluid (PF) from infertile women with mild endometriosis on mouse oocytes and embryos is associated with changes in embryonic epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin-like …

Downregulative effects of nitric oxide on oocyte fertilization and embryo development: possible roles of nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of endometriosis-associated infertility
Cellular physiology and biochemistry : international journal of experimental cellular physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology ·doi:10.1159/000323977

AIMS: To investigate the effects of elevated nitric oxide (NO) levels in peritoneal fluids (PF) on oocyte fertilization and pre-implantation embryo development, and the relation of those effects to endometriosis-associated infertility. MET…

Involvement of cyclin B1 in progesterone-mediated cell growth inhibition, G2/M cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in human endometrial cell
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-7-144

BACKGROUND: Progesterone plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of human endometrial cells (hECs). Large-dose treatment with progesterone has been used for treatment of endometrial proliferative disorders. However,…

Altered expression of interleukin-18 in the ectopic and eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis
Journal of Reproductive Immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2006.03.003

OBJECTIVE: This study has investigated the expression of interleukin (IL)-18 in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women with endometriosis and the role of IL-18 on the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS: Endometriotic tissue speci…
