Fresh mouse peritoneal macrophages have low scavenger receptor activity
Journal of lipid research ·doi:10.1016/s0022-2275(20)34934-8

Peritoneal macrophages are easily isolated by lavage, suggesting that they are either nonadherent or weakly adherent in situ. Cultured macrophages express class A scavenger receptors (SCR), which mediate Ca2+-independent adhesion in vitro. …

Effect of RU‐486 and Related Compounds on the Proliferation of Cultured Macrophages
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1995.tb00949.x

PROBLEM: Macrophages are implicated in the pathophysiology of endometriosis and are influenced by anti-inflammatory steroids as well as anti-oxidants. METHODS: We tested the effect of RU-486, an antiprogesterone, antiglucocorticoid and an a…

article 1994
Clinical efficacy of the antiprogesterone RU486 in the treatment of endometriosis and uterine fibroids
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/9.suppl_1.116

To evaluate the long-term effects of treatment with RU486 and to test its efficacy in endometriosis, a 3-month trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of daily administration (100 mg/day or approximately 2 mg/kg/day) on the functional a…

Combination medical and surgical therapy for infertile patients with endometriosis.
Obstetrics and gynecology clinics of North America

Endometriosis is a difficult problem for practicing gynecologists and is commonly associated with infertility. The diagnosis of endometriosis should only be made at the time of laparoscopy or laparotomy and should be confirmed with biopsy i…
