BACKGROUND: Carotenoids, known for their antioxidant properties and potential health benefits, have attracted considerable attention. Nonetheless, the association between carotenoid levels and gallstone prevalence has not been adequately ex…

Abnormal apoptosis both maintains endometrial cell growth and induces endometrial pathogenesis. The etiology of endometriosis is unclear and no treatment is curative. Therefore, the aim herein was to identify genes involved in the pathogene…

BACKGROUND: Clear cell carcinoma of the ovary (CCCO) is a relatively rare type of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) that has unique biological characteristics and clinical features. Researchers have paid less attention to this disease than to…

Growth hormone (GH), which is commonly considered to be a promoter of growth and development, has direct and indirect effects on adult gonads that influence reproduction and sexual function of humans and nonhumans. GH receptors are expresse…
