Expression profile of extracellular matrix and adhesion molecules in the development of endometriosis in a mouse model
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719112450340

Ectopic endometrial tissue induces various reactions in surrounding tissues, such as the surface of the ovary and peritoneal cavity, leading to endometriosis. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression profile of extracellular m…

Pathological study for the effects of in utero and postnatal exposure to diesel exhaust on a rat endometriosis model
The Journal of toxicological sciences ·doi:10.2131/jts.36.493

Previous studies have shown that prenatal and postnatal exposure to diesel exhaust (DE), which is known to be one of the main constituents of air pollution, enhances the persistence of endometriosis in a rat model. The aim of this study is …

Novel insights into pathology of endometriosis from a disease model induced by autotransplantation of endometrium
·doi:10.2492/inflammregen.30.115

The pathogenesis of endometriosis, a gynecologic disorder associated with infertility, appears to involve immune responses. However, the details involved have not been clarified and treatment options are limited. Sugamata M. et al. found pr…

Diesel Exhaust Exposure Enhances the Persistence of Endometriosis Model in Rats
·doi:10.1248/jhs.54.503

Diesel exhaust (DE) is known to be one of the main causes of air pollution. Several studies have suggested that DE causes lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, abnormal reproductive function, and central nervous system damage as well as type…
