BACKGROUND: Dysregulated hyaluronic acid (HA) metabolism has been shown to be implicated in several pathologies including endometriosis. 4-Methylumbelliferone (4MU) is an HA synthesis inhibitor with proven antitumour activity. In this study…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does resveratrol exert a potent inhibitory effect on the development of endometriosis by interfering with some pivotal processes? DESIGN: In-vitro cultures of primary endometriotic stromal cells, immortalized endometrial…

Endometriosis is an often painful disease in reproductive-aged women, in which endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterine cavity. Since the limited current therapeutic alternatives fail in alleviating the symptoms and based on our pr…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the effects of plant-derived antioxidant compounds urolithin A (UA) and B (UB) on the growth and pathogenetic properties of an in vitro endometriosis model? SUMMARY ANSWER: Both urolithins showed inhibitory effects…

Endometriosis is a common and challenging condition of reproductive-aged women that is defined as the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Despite its prevalence, there is still no effective therapeutics; so we ai…

Based on the inflammatory nature and hormone-dependency of endometriosis, PI3K/AKT signaling appears to influence its progression. Could the endometriosis stages be linked to differential changes in PI3K/AKT pathway regulation? The objectiv…

BACKGROUND: The development and long-term survival of endometriotic lesions is crucially dependent on an adequate vascularization. Hyaluronic acid (HA) through its receptor CD44 has been described to be involved in the process of angiogenes…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of endometriosis on fertility and the levels of the IL-2 and IFN-γ in the peritoneal fluid in a mouse model; to evaluate the effect of pregnancy on endometriotic lesion growth, apoptosis and cell prolifera…

Alrededor de 176 millones de mujeres en el mundo padecen Endometriosis. Esta es una patología afecta al 10-20 % de las mujeres en edad reproductiva de cualquier etnia-raza y grupo social. Sin embargo existe una urgente necesidad de educar y…

La endometriosis es una patología ginecológica estrógeno dependiente e inflamatoria que se define como la presencia de tejido endometrial fuera de cavidad uterina. Los dos síntomas más comunes de la endometriosis son el dolor pélvico y la i…

Endometriosis is a gynecological inflammatory and estrogen dependent pathology, defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. The two most common symptoms of endometriosis are pelvic pain and infertility. This pa…

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus that causes severe pelvic pain and infertility in women of reproductive age. Although not completely understood, the pathophysiology of the disease invo…

La endometriosis es una patología ginecológica estrógeno-dependiente e inflamatoria que se define como la presencia de tejido endometrial fuera de la cavidad uterina. ¿Por qué en las pacientes con endometriosis el tejido endometrial ectópic…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and aromatase proteins have been shown to be overexpressed in eutopic endometrium from women suffering from this disease compared to disease-free women. Furthermore, …

STUDY QUESTION: Can resveratrol and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) inhibit the growth and survival of endometriotic-like lesions in vivo in a BALB/c model of endometriosis, and in vitro in primary cultures of human endometrial epithelial…

El tema de estudio de nuestro laboratorio es la endometriosis, patología benigna que afecta alrededor de un 15% de las mujeres en edad reproductiva y que se caracteriza por la presencia de tejido endometrial fuera de la cavidad uterina, pro…

The main factor involved in neovascularization of ectopic endometrial tissue in endometriosis is the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is produced both by the endometrial implant and by peritoneal macrophages. On the other ha…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of celecoxib and rosiglitazone on the implantation and growth of endometriotic-like lesions in a murine model of endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective experimental study. SETTING: Animal research and labora…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) on apoptosis induced by leuprolide acetate (LA) in endometrial epithelial cell cultures from patients with endome…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of aromatase inhibitors on ectopic endometrial growth and on the release of proangiogenic and proinflammatory factors in peritoneal fluid (PF). DESIGN: Prospective experimental study. SETTING: Animal rese…
