Background: Embryo implantation involves the interaction between the blastocyst and the host uterus that occurs over a limited period called the implantation window. Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the factors invo…
Introduction: Raloxifene (Ral) is the oldest SERM (selective oestrogen receptor modulators) for treatment of breast cancer and osteoporosis. Its oestrogen-modulating effects have been shown in breast and uterus. Since there is little availa…
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder and one of the most common causes of infertility in women. Resveratrol (RES) is a polyphenolic and phytoestrogenic compound with anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and …
Purpose: Adipose stem cells (ASCs) are pluripotent cells with the ability of self-renewal and differentiation into different types of mesenchymal cells. As cartilage repair is difficult due to lack of blood capillary, resveratrol (Res) is a…
< 0.05) in both EEE and NE groups. In conclusion, higher doses of noscapine showed inhibitory effect on growth and angiogenesis of EEE and NE.
OBJECTIVES: . MATERIALS AND METHODS: study, endometrial biopsies from endometriosis patients (n=9) were prepared and digested by an enzymatic method (collagenase I, 2 mg/ml). Stromal and epithelial cells were separated by sequential filtrat…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a complex disorder in reproductive age women which consist of stromal and epithelial cells implantation outside the uterine cavity. Adiponectin is a member of cytokine family with various metabolic roles and pro…
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease in reproductive age women. Adiponectin and Nitric oxide (NO) have an important role in physiologic functions especially in human reproductive system. Levels of NO increased in the endometriosis…
BACKGROUND: Adiponectin is one of the most important adipokines secreted from fatty tissue that has a direct inhibitory effect on the development of cancer cells. Adiponectin plays an important role in human reproduction system and fertilit…
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of an aromatase inhibitor, letrozole, on the growth of human endometrium in a three-dimensional fibrin matrix model of endometriosis.DesignExperimental study of human endometrial biopsies in a three-dimen…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the inhibitory effect of a statin on angiogenesis in a three-dimensional (3-D) culture of human endometrial fragments in vitro. Angiogenesis has been proposed as an important mechanism in the pathogenesis of endometr…
