To elucidate the etiology of infertility due to endometriosis, we autografted endometrial or adipose tissue to the pelvic peritoneum of 21 cynomolgus monkeys. These primates were divided into five groups: control animals with adipose tissue…
To study the relationship between peritoneal fluid prostaglandins and infertility associated with endometriosis, we autografted endometrial or adipose tissue to the pelvic peritoneum in 21 monkeys. Peritoneal washings were collected prior t…
Danazol, an isoxazol derivative of ethinyl testosterone which suppresses gonadotropin levels and acts as a weak androgen, is shown by competition studies to bind rat androgen receptor (Ki 10(-8M) and progestin receptor (Ki 10(-7)M) but not …
Three groups of women with benign breast disease were treated with danazol for 3 to 6 months. Doses of 100 mg per day were given to 40 patients, 200 mg to 55, and 400 mg to 35. The age range of the patients was 20 to 48 years. The patients …
The effects of danazol on the luteal phase of cycling rhesus monkeys and on the ability of the intact rhesus monkey to respond to hCG stimulation were studied in two experiments. In a third experiment the impact of danazol upon the response…
The association of endometriosis and infertility is well know. However, the exact mechanisms involved remain unclear. To study the effect of endometriosis on fertility, an experimental model was developed using New Zealand White rabbits. En…
Danazol, an impeded androgen with moderate antigonadotropin properties, was administered to 58 patients with a variety of benign breast disorders. The disturbances were present from 3 months to 20 years; the ages ranged from 21 to 50 years.…
