Printed in U.S.A. Copyright © 1998 by The Endocrine Society Dioxin Perturbs, in a Dose- and Time-Dependent Fashion, Steroid Secretion, and Induces Apoptosis

Dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin; TCDD) is the most toxic congener of a large class of environmental pollutants. Several studies have shown that TCDD exposure reduced fecundity and ovulatory rate in rats and increased the inciden…

Modulation of ovarian follicle maturation and effects on apoptotic cell death in Holtzman rats exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in utero and lactationally
Reproductive toxicology (Elmsford, N.Y.) ·doi:10.1016/s0890-6238(97)00101-9

Recent reports have described the reproduction-modulating and endocrine-disrupting effects following exposure to toxic substances such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Herein, we set out (1) to determine whether TCDD exposure …

Danazol but not gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists suppresses autoantibodies in endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)60363-1

The effect of treatment with danazol (n = 10) or gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) (n = 10) on autoantibody (AA) production (IgG, IgM and, IgA to 6 phospholipids, 5 histones, and 4 polynucleotides) in endometriosis was evalua…

Effects of danazol, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, and estrogen/progestogen combination on experimental endometriosis in the ovariectomized rat
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)59727-1

Direct effects of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa), danazol, or estrogen/progestogen (E/P) on experimental endometriosis were evaluated in castrated female rats. Endometrial explants decreased in size following castration, b…

Immunologic Aspects of Endometriosis
Obstetrics and gynecology clinics of North America ·doi:10.1159/000414847

Endometriosis appears to be a systemic disease with alterations in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity. An immune defect may allow ectopic implantation of the endometrial cells with subsequent development of autoantibodies.
