Smooth muscle alpha actin and myosin heavy chain expression in the vascular smooth muscle cells surrounding human endometrial arterioles
·doi:10.1093/humrep/14.12.3095

Endometrial spiral arterioles are believed to play a major role in controlling menstruation. These arterioles coil and grow through the secretory stages of the cycle, unlike the 'straight' endometrial arterioles that remain uncoiled. We pos…

article 1999
Vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation in arterioles of the human endometrium
·doi:10.1093/humrep/14.4.1072

Menorrhagia affects approximately 15% of all women, often without identifiable cause. Endometrial spiral arterioles are believed to play a major role in controlling menstruation, and are a major site of menstrual loss. We postulate that alt…

Transforming growth factor beta and endothelin in the endometrium of women with menorrhagia

Vascular smooth muscle  -actin distribution around endometrial arterioles during the menstrual cycle: increased expression during the perimenopause and lack of correlation with menorrhagia
·doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.humrep.a019020

Menorrhagia affects approximately 9% of all women, increasing to 20% during the perimenopause. The majority of menstrual loss occurs through the spiral arterioles - specialized endometrial vessels that are intimately involved in controlling…

article 1994
Endometrial sex steroid receptor expression in women with menorrhagia
·doi:10.1111/j.1471-0528.1994.tb11917.x

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the oestrogen and progesterone receptor distribution in endometrium from reproductive age and perimenopausal women with and without menorrhagia. DESIGN: A comparative observational study. SUBJECTS: Forty-five women…
