Identification of suitable reference genes for mesenchymal stem cells from menstrual blood of women with endometriosis
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-021-84884-5

It has been suggested that menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MenMSCs) are associated with the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis and considerable effort has been invested in searching for target genes and deciphering as…

Expression of PGR, HBEGF, ITGAV, ITGB3 and SPP1 genes in eutopic endometrium of infertile women with endometriosis during the implantation window: a pilot study
JBRA assisted reproduction ·doi:10.5935/1518-0557.20170038

OBJECTIVE: Alterations in endometrial receptivity may be involved in the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis-related infertility. The literature has suggested that patients with endometriosis present progestin resistance, which could affect e…

article 2017
Oocyte oxidative DNA damage may be involved in minimal/mild endometriosis‐related infertility
Molecular reproduction and development ·doi:10.1002/mrd.22943

Early endometriosis is associated with infertility, and oxidative stress may play a role in the pathogenesis of disease‐related infertility. This prospective case‐control study aimed to compare the presence of oxidative stress markers in th…

article 2016
Increased expression of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 in ovarian/peritoneal endometriotic lesions
Reproduction (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.1530/rep-15-0581

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease affecting up to 10% of all premenopausal women. There is evidence that different endometriosis sites show distinct local estrogen concentration, which, in turn, might be due to a unique local e…

Endometriosis and physical exercises: a systematic review
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-12-4

Regular physical exercise seems to have protective effects against diseases that involve inflammatory processes since it induces an increase in the systemic levels of cytokines with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and also acts…
