The presence of extensive infiltrated macrophages with impaired phagocytosis is widely recognised as a significant regulator for the development of endometriosis (EMs). Nevertheless, the metabolic characteristics and the fundamental mechani…

Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition, afflicts reproductive-aged women. However, the underlying pathological mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is a critical enzyme inv…

Dienogest is effective in reducing endometriosis-related pain symptoms. This study aims to investigate and compare the pharmacokinetic profiles and safety of test formulations to reference formulations of dienogest in healthy Chinese female…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic disease that causes chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility and shares several characteristics with malignant tumors, afflicting women of reproductive age. Hexokinase 2 plays an es…

Prostacyclin (PGI2) plays key roles in shaping the immune microenvironment and modulating vasodilation, whereas its contribution to endometriosis (EMs) remains largely unclear. Our study suggested that prostacyclin synthase (PTGIS)-dependen…

Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized as an estrogen-dependent disease. Whereas, the underlying mechanism for activated estrogen biosynthesis in EMs lesions is largely unknown. We analyzed cholesterol metabolism and estrogen biosynthesis con…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic benign inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue in aberrant locations outside of the uterine cavity. Angiogenesis and abnormal immune responses are the fundamental requirem…

S to treat endometriosis.

Phthalates are ubiquitous environmental pollutants because of the broad use of plastics. We conducted a case-control study to determine whether uterine leiomyomata were related to exposure to phthalates. Urine specimens and questionnaires w…

The finding that estrogen receptor ER? agonists induce regression of ectopic endometrial implants in a rodent model has rekindled interest in the role of ER? in the growth and maintenance of human endometriosis. We hypothesize that the ER? …

UNLABELLED: Endometrial vasculature supports physiological uterine growth, embryonic implantation and endometrial pathology. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is regulated by diverse developmental and hormonal signals, including eic…

The industrial contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is associated with inflammatory disorders in women and other mammals. The current studies were performed to investigate the effect of TCDD on RANTES expression in an in-v…

RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) is synthesized by endometrial and endometriotic stromal cells and circulates in peritoneal fluid. Reports indicate that medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is clinically e…

An important step in the monthly turnover of the endometrial lining during the menstrual cycle is the cyclical recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells. Regulated Upon Activation Normal T Cell Expressed and Secreted (RANTES) has bee…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the serum levels of ICAM-1 and its relationship to the extent of the disease. METHODS: Serum sICAM-1 levels of 21 women with endometriosis were measured with a specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and 21 wom…
