BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endometriosis is associated with oxidative stress and heavy metal accumulation. This study evaluated whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduces serum heavy metals and improves lipid profiles in women with endometriosis unde…

The impact of endometrioma size on ovarian reserve remains controversial. Although endometriomas are known to reduce anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, some studies suggest a paradoxical association between larger cysts and higher AMH. Th…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disorder, is a leading cause of pelvic pain and reduced quality of life in women, with oxidative stress implicated in its pathogenesis. While antioxidant supplementation has been proposed as…

Unexplained infertility (UI) among women consists of only 10-17% of infertile females. Unexplained or idiopathic infertility is a condition, in which couples are not able to conceive without any definite causes. The presence of the decidual…

OBJECTIVE: The relation between excessive prolactin and endometriosis-related infertility is debatable. Anovulation or defective luteal phase occurs frequently due to hyperprolactinemia in subfertile women. In this investigation, we evaluat…

OBJECTIVE: This study set out to investigate the pregnancy outcome of natural cycle regimen versus other endometrial preparation protocols with vitrification thawed blastocyst transfer (VTBT) cycles. METHODS: This control trial study was c…

BACKGROUND: Our objective was to determine the effect of fatty acids (FAs) in serum and follicular fluid (FF) on fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes. METHODS: One hundred five women aged 18-38 years undergoin…
