The effect of progestins on vascular endothelial growth factor, oestrogen receptor and progesterone receptor immunoreactivity and endothelial cell density in human endometrium

Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/15.suppl_3.85

One common side-effect of contraceptive use is that it often leads to disrupted endometrial bleeding patterns. This may be due to changes in endothelial density and vessel integrity. To investigate whether the level of endometrial immunorea…

The effect of etonogestrel on VEGF, oestrogen and progesterone receptor immunoreactivity and endothelial cell number in human endometrium

Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/14.12.3080

Contraceptive use often leads to disrupted endometrial bleeding patterns in women. In this study, two different contraceptive regimes (Mircette, a monophasic oral contraceptive and Implanon, a long-acting gestagen) were used and their effec…

Inability to establish ectopic endometrium in a natural killer cell-deficient murine model. Immunologic, histologic and histochemical assessment

The Journal of reproductive medicine

OBJECTIVE: To investigate what effect natural killer (NK) cells have on the implantation of heterologous endometrial scrapings. STUDY DESIGN: Anti-asialo GM1 (AA-GM1) anti-sera have been shown to eliminate NK cell activity in various strai…

Peritoneal fluid: its relevance to the development of endometriosis

Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)56027-0

OBJECTIVE: To review and evaluate published studies that have examined the role of peritoneal fluid (PF) in the development of endometriosis. DESIGN: Important studies related to this topic have been identified through a computerized bibli…

Uterine endometrial peristalsis--a transvaginal ultrasound study

Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)53760-1

Peristaltic movements of the endometrium were evaluated by serial transvaginal ultrasound throughout 21 spontaneous menstrual cycles, 15 oral contraceptives (OCs) cycles, and 18 in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. A score of 0, 1, or 2 was…
