Endometriosis is a chronic, multifactorial disorder. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress (OS) contribute to the development of endometriosis by affecting apoptosis-related genes in granulosa cells. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a…

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 & aim: Among the important factors affecting female infertility, endometriosis (with a prevalence rate of up to 50% in infertile women) has a special place.Endometriosis, which is known as the presence of endometrial glands and s…

Abstract Endometriosis is major gynecological disease that affects over 10% of women worldwide and 30%-50% of these women have pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility. The cause of endometriosis is unknown and there is no def…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disease which can lead to certain types of cancers. We investigated the spontaneous and induced chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of endometriosis patients. …

OBJECTIVE: promoter polymorphisms and susceptibly to endometriosis and its corolation with mRNA level. MATERIALS AND METHODS: were detected by sequencing. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) was carried out to determine MIF expre…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a common complex gynecological disorder that may result in infertility. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine that is overexpressed in endometriosis tissues. However, hit…

Abstract Background: Dysregulation of some HOX genes are important for the development of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a complex gynecologic disorder affecting as many as 10-15% of premenopausal women. The pathogenesis of endometriosis, …

Abstract Background: Dysregulation of some HOX genes are important for the development of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a complex gynecologic disorder affecting as many as 10-15% of premenopausal women. The pathogenesis of endometriosis, …

BACKGROUND: is the +331G/A. OBJECTIVE: The differential expression level of PR isoforms due to +331G/A polymorphism may be able to influence the function of progesterone and reduce the susceptibility of endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS:…

BACKGROUND: A predominant difference between endometrial and normal cells is higher proliferation rate in the former cells which is benign. The genes of inhibitor of differentiation (ID) family play a major role in cell proliferation regula…

Background: Endometriosis is a common, chronic inflammatory disease which is defined as an overgrowth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. The etiology of this disease is complex and multifactorial but there is a strong evidenc…

Background \nGelatinases 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 su…

BACKGROUND: clusters are subdivided into 13 paralogous groups). OBJECTIVE: genes (A, B, C, and D) in ectopic and eutopic tissues of women with endometriosis compared to the normal endometrium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: genes was investigated b…
