Retrospective analysis of the endometrial preparation protocols for frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles in women with endometriosisReproductive Biology and Endocrinology - Tập 21 - Trang 1-9 - 2023
Jingdi Yang, Yangxing Wen, Danping Li, Xuerong Hou, Bo Peng, Zengyan Wang
There was inconsistency in optimal endometrial preparation protocol for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in patients with endometriosis. We conducted this study to investigate the effect of different endometrial preparation protocols on the pregnancy outcomes in patients with endometriosis undergoing FET cycles, and determine the optimal number of GnRHa injections in GnRHa-HRT protocols. This w...... hiện toàn bộ
Association between obesity-associated markers and semen quality parameters and serum reproductive hormones in Chinese infertile menReproductive Biology and Endocrinology - Tập 18 - Trang 1-15 - 2020
Jian-Xiong Ma, Bin Wang, Hai-Song Li, Xue-Juan Jiang, Jia Yu, Cai-Fei Ding, Wang-Qiang Chen
The current evidence on the association between obesity-associated markers and semen quality, serum reproductive hormones and lipids remains inconsistent. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that, in infertile Chinese men, body mass index (BMI) negatively correlates with sperm concentration, serum total testosterone (TT), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The relationship betwe...... hiện toàn bộ
Cryopreservation/transplantation of ovarian tissue and in vitro maturation of follicles and oocytes: Challenges for fertility preservationReproductive Biology and Endocrinology - Tập 6 - Trang 1-10 - 2008
Alex C Varghese, Stefan S du Plessis, Tommaso Falcone, Ashok Agarwal
Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue and in vitro follicle maturation are two emerging techniques for fertility preservation, especially in cancer patients. These treatment regimes are opening up more options and allow for more suitable choices to preserve fertility according to the patient's specific circumstances. If these technologies are to become widely accepted, they need to be safe, easy to p...... hiện toàn bộ
ART manipulation after controlled ovarian stimulation may not increase the risk of abnormal expression and DNA methylation at some CpG sites of H19,IGF2 and SNRPN in foetuses: a pilot studyReproductive Biology and Endocrinology - Tập 16 - Trang 1-6 - 2018
Menglu Ji, Xingling Wang, Wenbin Wu, Yichun Guan, Jing Liu, Jingyan Wang, Wenxia Liu, Chunyan Shen
To examine the effects of IVF, ICSI and FET, as well as in vitro culture, on the safety of offspring, this study was conducted from the perspective of genetic imprinting to investigate whether assisted reproductive technology would influence the parental and maternal imprinting genes. Eighteen foetuses were collected from multifoetal reduction and divided into 6 groups: multifoetal reduction after...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of needle puncturing on re-vascularization and follicle survival in xenotransplanted human ovarian tissueReproductive Biology and Endocrinology - Tập 21 - Trang 1-13 - 2023

Ovarian tissue transplantation can restore fertility in young cancer survivors, however the detrimental loss of follicles following transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue is hampering the efficiency of the procedure. This study investigates whether needle puncturing prior to transplantation can enhance revascularization and improve follicle survival in xenotransplanted human ovarian corte...... hiện toàn bộ
The effects of oxidative stress on female reproduction: a reviewReproductive Biology and Endocrinology - Tập 10 - Trang 1-31 - 2012
Ashok Agarwal, Anamar Aponte-Mellado, Beena J Premkumar, Amani Shaman, Sajal Gupta
Oxidative stress (OS), a state characterized by an imbalance between pro-oxidant molecules including reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and antioxidant defenses, has been identified to play a key role in the pathogenesis of subfertility in both males and females. The adverse effects of OS on sperm quality and functions have been well documented. In females, on the other hand, the impact of OS o...... hiện toàn bộ
A new insight into male fertility preservation for patients with completely immotile spermatozoaReproductive Biology and Endocrinology - Tập 15 - Trang 1-6 - 2017
Huanhua Chen, Guixue Feng, Bo Zhang, Hong Zhou, Caizhu Wang, Jinhui Shu, Xianyou Gan, Ruoyun Lin, Dongmei Huang, Yingqin Huang
Sperm cryopreservation is the most effective method to preserve male fertility but this is normally used for motile spermatozoa. Thus, only motile spermatozoa are used for cryopreservation in most reproductive medicine centers worldwide. The immotile spermatozoa from some problematic patients are usually discarded, resulting in a missed opportunity of sterility cryopreservation for future assisted...... hiện toàn bộ
Role of microRNAs in embryo implantationReproductive Biology and Endocrinology - Tập 15 - Trang 1-11 - 2017
Jingjie Liang, Shaoyu Wang, Zhengguang Wang
Failure of embryo implantation is a major limiting factor in early pregnancy and assisted reproduction. Determinants of implantation include the embryo viability, the endometrial receptivity, and embryo-maternal interactions. Multiple molecules are involved in the regulation of implantation, but their specific regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. MicroRNA (miRNA), functioning as the transcription...... hiện toàn bộ
Activin B can signal through both ALK4 and ALK7 in gonadotrope cellsReproductive Biology and Endocrinology - - 2006
Daniel J Bernard, Katharine B Lee, Michelle M Santos
Activins stimulate pituitary FSH synthesis via transcriptional regulation of the FSHbeta subunit gene (Fshb). Like other members of the TGFbeta superfamily, these ligands signal through complexes of type I and type II receptor serine/threonine kinases. The type I receptors, or activin receptor-like kinases (ALKs), propagate intracellular signals upon ligand binding and phosphorylation by associate...... hiện toàn bộ
