OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical pregnancy rate of intrauterine insemination cycles in relation to patient age, cause of infertility, ovulation induction method, number of mature follicles and sperm with progressive moti…

Objective The aim of the present study was to analyze the expression of the CD63, S100A6, and GNB2L1genes, which participate in mechanisms related to the complex pathophysiology of endometriosis. Methods A case-control study was conducted w…

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…

Endometriosis is a benign, estrogen-dependent disease with symptoms such as pelvic pain and infertility, and it is characterized by the ectopic distribution of endometrial tissue. The expression of the ID2, PRELP and SMOC2 genes was compare…

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…

Alterações moleculares no endométrio eutópico de mulheres com endometriose podem estar envolvidas na infertilidade associada à doença. Este estudo objetivou comparar os genes diferencialmente expressos (DEG) no endométrio eutópico de mulher…

Several authors have investigated the malignant transformation of endometriosis, which supports the hypothesis of the pre-neoplastic state of endometriotic lesions, but there are few data about the pathways and molecular events related to t…

Purpose To evaluate whether women with endometriosis have different ovarian reserves and reproductive outcomes when compared with women without this diagnosis undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI), an…

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…

Considerable efforts have been invested in elucidating the potential mechanisms involved in the physiopathology of endome-triosis. The aims of our study were to investigate whether RHOC expression is differentially altered in the endometriu…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma at ectopic locations. Although the prevalence of endometriosis is as high as 35%-50%, its pathogenesis remains controversial. An increasing number of stud…

A 33-year-old nulliparous woman who had been trying to conceive for 3 years attended our center for in-vitro fertilization (IVF). She had a regular menstrual cycle, but with severe dysmenorrhea on the first day. Her body mass index was 17.9…

OBJECTIVES: To examine whether endometrial thickness and the presence of endometrioma are independent predictors of clinical pregnancy rate or simply associated with poor ovarian response (POR). METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort stud…

Objective: To develop a web-based system to store, recover, compare, and associate information obtained using high-throughput molecular genetic techniques regarding differentially expressed genes in patients with endometriosis. Methods: A w…
