between cytochrome P450 gene polymorphisms and serum organochlorine TEQ levels in the risk of endometriosis
Representative examples of sequential immunohistochemical sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin (b and e), anti-BimEL Abs (a, d, and g) and anti-FSH receptor Ab (c and f). The granulosa cells of each follicle were scored “negative” if…
Although endometriosis is suspected to be a cause of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), the mechanism(s) underlying this process have not been elucidated. Recently, androgens were shown to promote oocyte maturation and to play a role in…
BACKGROUND: Progression of endometriosis is considered estrogen-dependent. Dietary soy isoflavones may affect the risk of endometriosis, and polymorphisms in estrogen receptor genes may modify this association. We examined associations amon…
We previously reported that indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is associated with paclitaxel resistance and that IDO serves as a marker of poor prognosis in ovarian serous adenocarcinomas (SA). In this study, to explore the role of IDO in th…
Exposure to dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been suggested as a possible etiologic factor for endometriosis, but the association remains highly controversial. To assess whether cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene polymorphisms modul…
OBJECTIVE: To explore whether polymorphisms in AhR, ARNT, and AhRR contribute to endometriosis susceptibility and severity. DESIGN: Case control study. SETTING: Hospital. PATIENT(S): One hundred thirty-eight Japanese women with or withou…
In Brief OBJECTIVE To clarify histologic localization of estrone sulfatase in normal uterine endometrium and adenomyotic tissue and to confirm that estrone sulfatase is one of the enzymes that supplies estrogen to adenomyotic tissue. METHOD…
Galactosyltransferase Associated with Tumor (GAT) was clinically studied in cases of ovarian cancer. When two cut-off levels of GAT were compared, the cut-off level of 16 U/ml (which corresponds to mean + 2SD among healthy females) was foun…
