BACKGROUND: To study endometrial receptivity in terms of osteopontin (OPN) and αvβ3 integrin expression and co-expression in infertile women with early stages of endometriosis. METHODS: We investigated the immunohistochemical expression and…

Cytokines, and specifically interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8), have been associated with the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We studied serum concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 in patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) …

ObjectiveTubal ligation may reduce the ovarian blood flow and lead to tissue damage to the ovary. If so, this may also result in a significant decrease of the total follicular pool. We performed a long-term evaluation of ovarian reserve and…
2001
PurposeThe purpose of this prospective, randomized study was to compare ovarian response and oocyte and embryo yields in women undergoing ovulation induction for IVF/ICSI using recombinant human FSH (rhFSH) alone or in combination with reco…

PurposeThe main goal in the present study was to compare follicular development and estradiol levels after ovarian stimulation in pituitary suppressed normally ovulating women undergoing IVF, using highly purified urinary follicle stimulati…

PurposeOur purpose was to determine prospectively, using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, whether the ovarian reserve test with hMG could improve the predictive value of a woman's age and basal levels of follicle stimulatin…

Immunopathophysiological mechanisms in endometriosis-associated reproductive failure were studied in appropriate populations: infertile and fertile women with and without endometriosis. The incidence of sera positive for any of the autoanti…
article
