Impaired CRH and Urocortin Expression and Function in Eutopic Endometrium of Women with Endometriosis
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2010-2263

CONTEXT: Women with endometriosis have altered endometrial function. CRH and urocortin (Ucn) are neuropeptides produced by human endometrium and modulate endometrial decidualization. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate endometrial mRNA expression of CRH…

Urocortin 2 and urocortin 3 in endometriosis: evidence for a possible role in inflammatory response
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gar020

Urocortin 2 (Ucn 2) and urocortin 3 (Ucn 3) are neuropeptides expressed by human endometrium. This study evaluated (i) the expression of Ucn 2 and Ucn 3 mRNA in endometriotic lesions and in endometrium of women with endometriosis; (ii) the …

Activin A, Activin Receptor Type II, Nodal, and Cripto mRNA Are Expressed by Eutopic and Ectopic Endometrium in Women With Ovarian Endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719109334967

Activin A is a dimeric protein that regulates endometrial functions by signaling at its receptors, namely type I (ActRI) and type II (ActRII). Nodal is an activin competitor that requires the coreceptor cripto to assemble its signaling path…
