Stress During Development of Experimental Endometriosis Influences Nerve Growth and Disease Progression
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719117737846

PurposeWe have previously shown that stress prior to induction worsens clinical presentation and inflammatory parameters in a rat model of endometriosis. This study was designed to examine whether stress during the development of endometrio…

Endometriosis Is Associated With a Shift in MU Opioid and NMDA Receptor Expression in the Brain Periaqueductal Gray
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719116630410

Studies have examined how endometriosis interacts with the nervous system, but little attention has been paid to opioidergic systems, which are relevant to pain signaling. We used the autotransplantation rat model of endometriosis and allow…

Stress Management Affects Outcomes in the Pathophysiology of an Endometriosis Model
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719114542022

We have previously shown detrimental effects of stress in an animal model of endometriosis. We now investigated whether the ability to control stress can affect disease parameters. Endometriosis was surgically induced in female Sprague-Dawl…

Stress Exacerbates Endometriosis Manifestations and Inflammatory Parameters in an Animal Model
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719112438443

Women with endometriosis have significant emotional distress; however, the contribution of stress to the pathophysiology of this disease is unclear. We used a rat model of endometriosis to examine the effects of stress on the development of…
