Genetic and epigenetic changes in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis: association with decreased endometrial αvβ3 integrin expression
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gaab018

About 40% of women with infertility and 70% of women with pelvic pain suffer from endometriosis. The pregnancy rate in women undergoing IVF with low endometrial integrin αvβ3 (LEI) expression is significantly lower compared to the women wit…

Environmental factors, epigenetics, and developmental origin of reproductive disorders.
Reproductive toxicology (Elmsford, N.Y.) ·doi:10.1016/j.reprotox.2016.07.011

Sex-specific differentiation, development, and function of the reproductive system are largely dependent on steroid hormones. For this reason, developmental exposure to estrogenic and anti-androgenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is…

A review of the carcinogenic potential of bisphenol A.
Reproductive toxicology (Elmsford, N.Y.) ·doi:10.1016/j.reprotox.2015.09.006

The estrogenic properties of bisphenol A (BPA), a ubiquitous synthetic monomer that can leach into the food and water supply, have prompted considerable research into exposure-associated health risks in humans. Endocrine-disrupting properti…

Female reproductive disorders: the roles of endocrine-disrupting compounds and developmental timing
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2008.08.067

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the possible role of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) on female reproductive disorders emphasizing developmental plasticity and the complexity of endocrine-dependent ontogeny of reproductive organs. Declining con…
