Hexachlorobenzene and chlorpyrifos, environmental pollutants that disrupt the endocrine system, promote angiogenesis associated with endometriosis
Food and chemical toxicology : an international journal published for the British Industrial Biological Research Association ·doi:10.1016/j.fct.2026.116213

Endometriosis defined by the growth of endometrial tissues outside the uterus, affects women of reproductive age. A critical process in endometriosis progression, angiogenesis involves endothelial cell migration, proliferation and tube form…

Endocrine disruptor hexachlorobenzene induces cell migration and invasion, and enhances aromatase expression levels in human endometrial stromal cells
Food and chemical toxicology : an international journal published for the British Industrial Biological Research Association ·doi:10.1016/j.fct.2022.112867

Endometriosis is the presence and growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. Previous studies have suggested that endocrine disrupting chemicals such as organochlorine pesticides could be a risk factor for endometriosis. Hexachloro…

Exposure to environmental concentrations of hexachlorobenzene induces alterations associated with endometriosis progression in a rat model
Food and chemical toxicology : an international journal published for the British Industrial Biological Research Association ·doi:10.1016/j.fct.2018.10.056

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a dioxin-like compound widely distributed and is a weak ligand of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Endometriosis is a disease characterized by growth of endometrial tissue in ectopic sites. Our aim was to inve…

Enhanced cyclooxygenase-2 expression levels and metalloproteinase 2 and 9 activation by Hexachlorobenzene in human endometrial stromal cells
Biochemical pharmacology ·doi:10.1016/j.bcp.2016.03.024

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is an organochlorine pesticide that induces toxic reproductive effects in laboratory animals. It is a dioxin-like compound and a weak ligand of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Endometriosis is characterized by t…
