Noscapine Acts as a Protease Inhibitor of In Vitro Elastase-Induced Collagen Deposition in Equine Endometrium
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms22105333

Endometrosis is a reproductive pathology that is responsible for mare infertility. Our recent studies have focused on the involvement of neutrophil extracellular traps enzymes, such as elastase (ELA), in the development of equine endometros…

Impairment of the antifibrotic prostaglandin E2 pathway may influence neutrophil extracellular traps-induced fibrosis in the mare endometrium
Domestic animal endocrinology ·doi:10.1016/j.domaniend.2018.10.004

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has contradictory effects in many organs. It may have proinflammatory, anti-inflammatory, or anti-fibrotic roles, depending on the type of receptors to which it binds. By signaling through its receptors EP2 and EP4, …

Physiopathologic mechanisms involved in mare endometrosis
Reproduction in domestic animals = Zuchthygiene ·doi:10.1111/rda.12397

Endometrosis is a degenerative chronic process, characterized by paramount fibrosis development in mare endometrium. This condition is one of the major causes of subfertility/infertility in mares. As in other organs, fibrosis might be a pat…
