Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and danazol normalize aromatase cytochrome P450 expression in eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis, adenomyosis, or leiomyomas
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(02)04813-6

ObjectiveTo investigate whether GnRH agonists or danazol therapy normalizes estrogen metabolism in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis, adenomyosis, or leiomyomas.DesignProspective clinical study.SettingUniversity hospital.P…

Association of HLA class I and class II alleles with susceptibility to endometriosis
Human immunology ·doi:10.1016/s0198-8859(02)00438-x

Although the exact etiology of endometriosis is unclear, several lines of evidence support roles for both cell-mediated and humoral immunity in its pathogenesis. To assess the association between HLA genotypes and endometriosis, we investig…

Association of the CYP17 gene and CYP19 gene polymorphisms with risk of endometriosis in Japanese women
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/17.4.897

BACKGROUND: To investigate whether polymorphisms of CYP17 and CYP19 genes are associated with the risk of endometriosis, we analysed the frequency and distribution of a single nucleotide polymorphism at the 5' untranslated region of the CYP…

Endometriosis: the pathophysiology as an estrogen-dependent disease
The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology ·doi:10.1016/s0960-0760(02)00260-1

Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterine cavity, develops mostly in women of reproductive age and regresses after menopause or ovariectomy, suggesting that the growth is estrogen-depende…

Genetic contribution of the interleukin-10 promoter polymorphism in endometriosis susceptibility
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1034/j.1600-0897.2002.1o029.x

PROBLEM: Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an important immunomodulatory cytokine. The aim of this study was to investigate whether polymorphisms of the IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms may be responsible in part for genetic susceptibility to endo…

Immunohistochemical localization of aromatase and apoptosis-associated proteins in ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma arising from ovarian endometriosis
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/s0301-2115(01)00288-3

An immunohistochemical study was made of a case of serous cystadenocarcinoma that had been shown to have arisen from ovarian endometriosis. Aromatase cytochrome P450 (P450arom), an enzyme responsible for estrogen biosynthesis, was localized…
