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…

< 0.01, respectively). These results are promising and reveal that urolithins A and B, separately, have a beneficial effect on the overall endometriotic growth without affecting the body weight or estrous cycle.

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…

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a dioxin-like compound widely distributed and is a weak ligand of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Endometriosis is a disease characterized by growth of endometrial tissue in ectopic sites. Our aim was to inve…

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…

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…

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…

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…

It has been postulated that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues may act directly on endometrial cells and inhibit their growth and proliferation by regulation of apoptotic and angiogenic mechanisms. Eutopic endometrial cells fro…
