Background.In the bone marrow microenvironment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)-derived exosomal miRNAs play an important role in bone formation and bone resorption, although the pathogenesis h…

A gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, leuprolide acetate, was administered every 4 weeks for treatment of rectovaginal endometriosis. Degrees of apoptosis (percentage of in situ deoxyribonucleic acid 3'-end-labeled cells) and cell proli…

OBJECTIVE: To determine danazol concentrations in the ovary, uterus, and serum during daily vaginal administration of a danazol suppository and to examine its effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. DESIGN: Sampling of tissues a…

OBJECTIVE -- The purpose of this study was to compare the potency of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists nafarelin, buserelin, and leuprolide in a newly developed model of experimental endometriosis, thus further characterizi…

The effects of danazol on estrogen production by rat ovaries were investigated. Hypophysectomized immature female rats were injected daily with 2.5 or 5 IU of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMS) and simultaneously daily given vehicle onl…

Effects of danazol, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (leuprolide), and danazol-leuprolide combination on experimental endometriosis were evaluated in female rats. A complete resorption of the fluid and a marked decrease in the volume …

The chronic administration of GnRH agonists to women results in the reversible suppression of estrogen production by the ovary. In the present study, the mechanism of the GnRH agonist suppression of estrogen production was investigated in p…

Since the authors recently reported that danazol inhibits the growth of human endometrial cancer cells in vitro, a clinical trial was initiated to examine whether danazol can regress adenomatous hyperplasia, a precursor of endometrial adeno…
