Stress Influences the Vitamin D‐Vitamin D Receptor System and Macrophages in an Animal Model of Endometriosis
·doi:10.1096/fasebj.30.1_supplement.1247.7

Although the role of vitamin D in endometriosis is still unclear, vitamin D signaling through the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is associated with anti‐proliferative and anti‐inflammatory effects. We previously reported differential VDR expressi…

Differential Regulation of Vitamin D Receptor Expression and Macrophage Infiltration by Stress in an Animal Model of Endometriosis
·doi:10.1096/fasebj.29.1_supplement.836.1

Prior studies from our laboratory have shown that stress can exacerbate the severity of endometriosis, a chronic gynecological disorder. The vitamin D receptor (VDR), expressed in cycling endometrium, is associated with anti-proliferative a…

Uncontrollable stress causes downregulation of CCL2 in colon of the endometriosis rat model (898.4)
·doi:10.1096/fasebj.28.1_supplement.898.4

Background: Endometriosis is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue in areas such as the peritoneal cavity and colon causing pain and discomfort. We have previously demonstrated that rats with explants of endometrial tissue in th…
