Limiting Premenstrual Endometrial Hypoxia Inducible Factor 2 Alpha May Fine-Tune Endometrial Function at Menstruation
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/clinem/dgae630

CONTEXT: Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is common and debilitating, but the precise endometrial mechanisms causing increased menstrual blood loss (MBL) remain undefined. We have previously identified a role for hypoxia in endometrial repair…

Hypoxia and hypoxia inducible factor-1α are required for normal endometrial repair during menstruation

Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is common and debilitating, and often requires surgery due to hormonal side effects from medical therapies. Here we show that transient, physiological hypoxia occurs in the menstrual endometrium to stabilise h…
