Icaritin may improve pregnancy chances in endometriosis by stopping aging in key ovarian cells

Updated

Abstract

Endometriosis may lead to diminished ovarian function and oocyte quality due to cellular senescence in granulosa cells.

  • Endometriosis is associated with chronic pelvic pain and infertility.
  • Granulosa cells in patients with endometriosis may experience cellular aging, potentially affecting their ability to support oocytes.
  • Cellular senescence in granulosa cells could impair ovarian function, contributing to infertility.
  • Icaritin has demonstrated various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects.
