BackgroundExtragonadal follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) expression at low levels has been shown in several normal and tumor tissues, including myometrium and adipose tissue. FSH-FSHR signaling in the myometrium has been suggeste…
Adenomyosis is a common gynaecological disease associated with the presence of endometrial lesions in the uterine myometrium. Estrogens have been proven to be the crucial hormones driving the growth of adenomyosis. Little is known about the…
Bisphenol A (BPA), the most common endocrine-disrupting chemical, has been associated with male reproductive dysfunctions. Recently, it has been shown that BPA may also affect miRNAs expression. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the association …
CONTEXT: FSH receptor (FSHR), besides being expressed in gonads, is also expressed in some extragonadal tissues at low levels. OBJECTIVE: We examined the functional expression of FSHR in different types of endometriotic lesions. DESIGN: Ext…
