This study was designed to examine the biological implications of progesterone receptor form A (PR-A) and B (PR-B) mRNA expressions in human ovarian endometriosis (ectopic endometrium). A high ratio of PR-B to PR-AB (PR-A+PR-B) mRNA express…

The contribution of oestrogen receptor (ER) isoforms, ER-alpha and ER-beta, in oestrogen-dependent development and growth of ovarian endometriomata, is unknown. Therefore, we examined the expression of ER-alpha and ER-beta in ovarian endome…

Platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) is expressed in the lining epithelial cells of ovarian endometriomas, and in interstitial cells of the subepithelial area with angiogenesis. The expression of PD-ECGF persists in end…

To understand the rationale of high-dose medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in the treatment of well-differentiated uterine endometrial cancers, the effect of MPA on intracellular sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) mRNA expression in well-d…

Steroid hormones, e.g. progesterone and oestradiol, may be responsible for the production and expression of a variety of angiogenic growth factors present in endometrial tissue. The expression of platelet-derived endothelial cell growth fac…

To discover the molecular mechanisms of estrogen-induced growth in ovarian endometriosis, the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors and their mRNAs was investigated. The expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors and thei…

In rabbit uterus, the presence of separate specific binding sites for not only estradiol but also estriol has been proposed. These sites may be correlated with an antiestradiol effect. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the e…

― Recently, much evidence has indicated that sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) play a role in the intracellular action of sex steroids in target cells. In the present work, expression of SHBG mRNA…

To understand the mechanism of biological action of gestrinone (R2323), which has a therapeutic effect against endometriosis, the binding of gestrinone to numerous classes of intracellular steroid binding proteins was studied in the human u…

Abstract. To support the estrogen hypothesis in the patho‐genesis of leiomyoma, total cellular estrogen receptor (ER) levels (the sum of levels in cytosol and nuclear KCl‐extract‐able and nuclear non‐KCl‐extractable fractions) were assayed …
