Understanding the impact of triazoles on female fertility and embryo development: Mechanisms and implications by Sonal Sharma, Geeta Pandey

“…Various search engines such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Elsevier, IEEE were used to search the relevant articles published between 2006 and 2024 using the following keywords: ''azoles,'' ''female infertility,'' ''reproductive toxicity,'' ''teratogenicity,'' ''triazoles,'' and ''embryo toxicity.'' The findings suggest that triazoles might negatively affect female fertility and embryonic development through multiple mechanisms including inhibition or interference with key enzymes such as CYP17A1 and CYP19A1 (aromatase) involved in steroid hormone synthesis, endocrine disruption, oxidative stress, disruption of signaling pathways, and apoptosis. …”

The Regulation and Functions of Endogenous Retrovirus in Embryo Development and Stem Cell Differentiation by Yangquan Xiang, Hongqing Liang

“…During the course of life, ERVs are associated with multiple aspects of chromatin and transcriptional regulation in development and pathological conditions. In mammalian embryos, ERVs are extensively activated in early embryo development, but with a highly restricted spatial-temporal pattern; and they are drastically silenced during differentiation with exceptions in extraembryonic tissue and germlines. …”
