Retinoic Acid Biosynthesis Is Impaired in Human and Murine Endometriosis1
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod.114.119677

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in extrauterine sites. Our objective was to determine whether endometriotic lesions (ELs) from women with endometriosis have altered retinoid levels compared wi…

Analysis of Follicular Fluid Retinoids in Women Undergoing In Vitro Fertilization: Retinoic Acid Influences Embryo Quality and Is Reduced in Women With Endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719113477487

Retinol (ROL) and its biologically active metabolite, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), are essential for a number of reproductive processes. However, there is a paucity of information regarding their roles in ovarian folliculogenesis, oocyte…

Retinoic acid is a cofactor for translational regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor in human endometrial stromal cells.
Molecular endocrinology (Baltimore, Md.) ·doi:10.1210/me.2009-0155

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endometrial angiogenesis play a critical role in successful embryonic implantation. Despite many studies of the effects of estrogen and progesterone on VEGF expression, its focal regulation at t…
