Leptin receptor is induced in endometriosis and leptin stimulates the growth of endometriotic epithelial cells through the JAK2/STAT3 and ERK pathways
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gas055

Leptin acts as a potential growth stimulator in several normal and neoplastic cells. Recent studies have shown the presence of increased levels of leptin in the peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis, implicating leptin in the path…

Costunolide Induces Apoptosis in Human Endometriotic Cells through Inhibition of the Prosurvival Akt and Nuclear Factor Kappa B Signaling Pathway
Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin ·doi:10.1248/bpb.34.580

Endometriosis, a disease affecting 5-15% of women of reproductive age, is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Costunolide, a sesquiterpene lactone, has anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activities that may be effic…
