Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a widely used plasticizer and endocrine disruptor that can impair ovarian function by provoking oxidative stress, mitochondrial injury, and apoptosis in granulosa cells. Lycopene is a diet-derived carote…

BACKGROUND: Bisphenol A (BPA), a widespread environmental endocrine disruptor, has raised concerns for its neurotoxic effects, yet its molecular role in stroke remains unclear. METHODS: BPA target genes were retrieved from ChEMBL, DrugBank,…

BACKGROUND: Triclosan, a widely used environmental contaminant with endocrine-disrupting properties, has been increasingly implicated in female reproductive disorders. However, the potential mechanistic link between triclosan exposure and e…

BACKGROUND: This study explores the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of gastric cancer induced by plasticizers, with particular emphasis on the interactions between plasticizers and key genes and signaling pathways…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two common diseases that impair women's health, and dienogest is one of the pharmacologic treatments which is the first-line therapeutic option for patients with pelvic pain and in…

IntroductionNalbuphine can relieve patients' inflammation response after surgery compared to other opioid drugs. However, its molecular mechanism has not been clear. Activation of NF-κB signaling pathway under oxidative stress and inflammat…

BackgroundAs a progesterone receptor antagonist, mifepristone combined with misoprostol is widely used to terminate early pregnancy in clinical practice. It has also been reported that mifepristone may cause cell death in decidual cells and…

BackgroundCentral disinhibition is a mechanism involved in the physiopathology of fibromyalgia. Melatonin can improve sleep quality, pain and pain threshold. We hypothesized that treatment with melatonin alone or in combination with amitrip…
