Transcriptomic analysis of the bovine endometrium: What is required to establish
uterine receptivity to implantation in cattle?
Research focuses on pre-implantation embryo development, the onset of
uterine receptivity, the regulation of implantation and decidualization and the causes of endometriosis.
The investigators report that excess female weight «impairs human reproduction» and that «the reduction of
uterine receptivity is one of the mechanisms involved.»
This «freeze - all» approach, initially developed as a strategy for minimising risk of ovarian hysperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in high risk patients, also addresses concerns that some have raised that the drugs used for ovarian stimulation during IVF may have a negative impact on
the uterine receptivity of some patients.
Not exact matches
The Federal Drug Administration has recently authorized use of DES (diethylistilbestrol), a strong estrogen which functions to influence
uterine contractability and to diminish the
receptivity of the endometrium to implantation of a fertilized ovum.
We concluded that the fresh transfer was impaired by the residual effects of ovarian stimulation on the
uterine lining, reducing its
receptivity to embryos.
These factors are all beneficial to female reproduction in general and to the
receptivity of
uterine lining.
