Association of the CYP17 gene and CYP19 gene polymorphisms with risk of endometriosis in Japanese women
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/17.4.897

BACKGROUND: To investigate whether polymorphisms of CYP17 and CYP19 genes are associated with the risk of endometriosis, we analysed the frequency and distribution of a single nucleotide polymorphism at the 5' untranslated region of the CYP…

Genetic contribution of the interleukin-10 promoter polymorphism in endometriosis susceptibility
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1034/j.1600-0897.2002.1o029.x

PROBLEM: Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an important immunomodulatory cytokine. The aim of this study was to investigate whether polymorphisms of the IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms may be responsible in part for genetic susceptibility to endo…

Progesterone Induction of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 2 during the Secretory Phase Occurs in the Endometrium of Estrogen-Dependent Benign Diseases But Not in Normal Endometrium
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.85.9.6829

In the human endometrium, inactivation of 17beta-estradiol to estrone is catalyzed by 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (17betaHSD2). Previous studies have shown that the 17betaHSD2 activity in the endometrium is elevated during th…

Detection of aromatase cytochrome P-450 in endometrial biopsy specimens as a diagnostic test for endometriosis

Expression of Aromatase Cytochrome P450 in Eutopic Endometrium and Its Application as a Diagnostic Test for Endometriosis
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000052865

Endometriotic implants, like other estrogen-dependent tumors, contain both estrogen receptors and aromatase cytochrome P450 (P450arom), suggesting that at a local level, endometriotic implants produce estrogens, which may be involved in tis…

article 1997
Expression of Aromatase Cytochrome P450 Protein and Messenger Ribonucleic Acid in Human Endometriotic and Adenomyotic Tissues but not in Normal Endometrium1
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod57.3.514

To determine whether local estrogen production takes place in endometriotic or adenomyotic tissues, in eutopic endometrium from patients with endometriosis or adenomyosis, and in normal endometrium, tissue specimens were examined by immunoh…

article 1997
Expression of aromatase cytochrome P450 protein and messenger ribonucleic acid in human endometriotic and adenomyotic tissues but not in normal endometrium. Biol. Reprod

To determine whether local estrogen production takes place in endometriotic or adenomyotic tissues, in eutopic endometri-um from patients with endometriosis or adenomyosis, and in normal endometrium, tissue specimens were examined by im-mun…
