Iron overload in endometriosis peritoneal fluid induces early embryo ferroptosis mediated by HMOX1

Abstract Endometriosis is one of the most common disorders that causes infertility in women. Iron is overloaded in endometriosis peritoneal fluid (PF), with harmful effects on early embryo development. However, the mechanism by which endometriosis peritoneal fluid affects embryonic development remai...
