Electroacupuncture may improve endometrial receptivity in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation mice by activating AVP neurons
EA may enhance endometrial receptivity in COH mice at the WOI-ZT4 stage by activating AVP neurons in the SCN and restoring the circadian expression pattern of clock genes along the HPOU axis. These findings provide experimental evidence supporting a circadian mechanism by which EA may enhance endometrial function during assisted reproductive processes.
