Increased levels of oxidative stress markers in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Endometriosis induces greater oxidative stress and frequent DNA mutations in peritoneal fluid than nonendometriotic ovarian cysts, and the most severe oxidative stress occurs in thePeritoneal cavity of women with more advanced stages of the disease.

Impact of endometriosis and its staging on assisted reproduction outcome: systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: To evaluate whether the presence or severity of endometriosis affects the outcome of assisted reproductive techniques (ART), a large number of patients are referred to ART clinics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endometriosis and cancer.

TL;DR: An epidemiology, possible etiology of endometriosis, precursor lesions, molecular features, and the association between the microenvironmental accumulations of oxidative stress in endometiosis‐associated ovarian cancer progression are presented.

Cancer-associated mutations in endometriosis: shedding light on the pathogenesis and pathophysiology.

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of CAMs in endometriosis has been produced, and it is apparent that those using microdissection techniques and more accurate sequencing methods found more CAMs, echoing recent discoveries that apparently healthy tissues also harbour CAMs as a result of the replicative aging process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endometriosis: Perspective, lights, and shadows of etiology.

TL;DR: The role of oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and antioxidants and inflammatory, genetic, and epigenetic factors involved in the initiation and progression of the endometriosis are presented.

The role of free radicals and antioxidants in reproduction.

TL;DR: The role of free radicals and oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of human reproduction is summarized and evidence in the literature on the beneficial effects of oral antioxidant supplementation in male infertility is summarized.

Oxidative stress and peritoneal endometriosis

TL;DR: Better understanding of the mechanisms of reactive oxygen species production and detoxification and further investigation of their effect on the peritoneal environment are essential to obtain new insight into this disease and eventually develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress may be a piece in the endometriosis puzzle.

TL;DR: High antioxidant potential is not a contributing factor in women with idiopathic infertility and low total antioxidant status and low activity of antioxidant enzymes in the peritoneal fluid of infertile women with endometriosis probably do not influence fertility, but these factors may play a role in the development of the disease.
