Background: Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like cells, causing chronic pelvic pain, adhesions and impaired fertility in women of reproductive age. Usually, these lesions grow in the peritoneal cavity in a hypoxic environment. Hypoxia is known to affect gene expression and protein kinase (PK) activity.

Wilson's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects copper transport due to deficiency of ceruloplasmin and causes deposition of copper mainly in the liver, brain and cornea. It causes hepatic and/or neuropsychiatric manifestations. This copper deposition causes cirrhosis of the liver, encephalopathy and liver failure.

Objectives: The relationship between elevated ferritin levels and metabolic abnormalities in PCOS patients, and whether ferritin is a cause or a consequence, is still debated. This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of the fourth generation combined oral contraceptive containing ethinyl estradiol/drospirenone (EE 30 mcg/DRSP 3 mg), known for its favorable metabolic profile and lower side effect risk, on iron metabolism in PCOS patients, while also exploring the potential relationship between metabolic parameters and iron status.
Methods: The retrospective analysis was conducted on 81 women aged 18-45, diagnosed with PCOS according to the Rotterdam criteria and treated with EE/DRSP for six months.

Purpose: To investigate the acute effects of eccentric-based resistance exercise and sex-hormone fluctuations on P1NP and β-CTX-1 concentrations in premenopausal females.
Methods: Nine eumenorrheic females and ten oral contraceptive (OC) users performed eccentric-based resistance exercise, consisted of 10 × 10 repetitions of parallel back squats with a 4-s eccentric phase, in the early-follicular (EFP), late-follicular (LFP) and mid-luteal (MLP) phases of the menstrual cycle (MC) or in the withdrawal (WP) and active pill-taking (APP) phases of the OC cycle.
Results: 17β-oestradiol (pg·ml) was lower in EFP (36.
