Unexplained infertility affects up to 30% of couples and has been associated with heat shock proteins (HSP) and endometrial stress. HSPs and their co-chaperones are part of a complex network of proteins responsible for maintaining protein h…
Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been found to be associated with reproductive complications, including female infertility. This study was conducted to explore the link between MMPs in non-obese women with unexplained infer…
Complement (C) proteins have been linked to infertility and reproductive outcomes. This study was undertaken to determine the association of complement proteins in non-obese women before in vitro fertilization (IVF) with unexplained inferti…
Previous research has linked both endothelial protein changes and vitamin D with infertility. This study was undertaken to investigate the association of proteins associated with endothelial function and vitamin D status in the luteal phase…
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are M2 macrophage markers that are modulated by inflammation. A disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMS) and those with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) regulate the shedding of membrane-bound proteins, grow…
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a frequent symptom in perimenopausal women. It is defined as uterine bleeding in which the duration, frequency, or amount of bleeding is considered excessive and negatively affects the woman's quality of l…
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that are essential for the regulation of post-transcriptional gene expression during tissue development and differentiation. They are involved in the regulation of manifold metabolic and hormona…
Background. Endometriosis is a chronic and estrogen-dependent pelvic inflammatory disease, which may have various causes, such as oxidative stress. Dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and pelvic pain are well-known symptoms of endometriosis. The pre…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrine disorder in females of the reproductive age. PCOS is commonly manifested as ovulatory dysfunction, clinical and biochemical excess androgen level, and polycystic ovaries. Meta…
