Cellular responses to the steroid hormones, estrogen (E2), and progesterone (P4) are governed by their cognate receptor's transcriptional output. However, the feed-forward mechanisms that shape cell-type-specific transcriptional fulcrums fo…
Study questionWhat effect does diet-induced obesity have on endometrial stromal cell (ESC) decidualization?Summary answerDiet-induced obesity impairs ESC decidualization.What is known alreadyDecidualization is important for successful impla…
BACKGROUND: Adiponectin (Adipoq), a protein secreted by adipocytes in inverse proportion to the adipose mass present, modulates energy homeostasis and increases insulin sensitivity. Tissue Adipoq signaling decreases in settings of maternal …
OBJECTIVE: To determine if follicular free fatty acid (FFA) levels are associated with cumulus oocyte complex (COC) morphology. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: University in vitro fertilization (IVF) practice. PATIENT(S): A to…
OBJECTIVE: To analyze relationships between serum free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations and pregnancy. DESIGN: Prospective cohort. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): Ninety-one women undergoing IVF. INTERVENTION(S): Serum was anal…
To determine the impact of maternal metabolic state on oocyte development in women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI), we retrospectively analyzed a cohort of women with PCOS undergoing IVF/ICSI fr…
The role of sex steroid hormones in reproductive function in women is well established. However, in the last two decades it has been shown that receptors for estrogens, progesterone and androgens are expressed in non reproductive tissue /or…
ObjectiveTo determine whether fetal size differences exist between matched fertile and infertile women and among women with infertility achieving pregnancy through various treatment modalities.DesignRetrospective cohort study with propensit…
Embryo implantation is a highly synchronized event between an activated blastocyst and a receptive endometrium. The success of this process relies on the dynamic interplay of estrogen (E(2)) and progesterone (P(4)), however, the details of …
ObjectiveTo determine whether morbid obesity is associated with decreased pregnancy and live birth rates after IVF in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingUniversity-based fertility center.Pati…
ObjectiveAn association between assisted reproductive technique (ART) and specific imprinting mutations, such as Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), has recently been documented. Based on experiments in farm animals that demonstrated an asso…
