In SilicoAnalysis Identifies a Novel Role for Androgens in the Regulation of Human Endometrial Apoptosis
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2011-0272

CONTEXT: The endometrium is a multicellular, steroid-responsive tissue that undergoes dynamic remodeling every menstrual cycle in preparation for implantation and, in absence of pregnancy, menstruation. Androgen receptors are present in the…

Expression of oestrogen receptors, ERalpha, ERbeta, and ERbeta variants, in endometrial cancers and evidence that prostaglandin F may play a role in regulating expression of ERalpha.
BMC cancer ·doi:10.1186/1471-2407-9-330

BackgroundEndometrial cancer is the most common gynaecological malignancy; risk factors include exposure to oestrogens and high body mass index. Expression of enzymes involved in biosynthesis of oestrogens and prostaglandins (PG) is often h…

Estrogen receptor related beta is expressed in human endometrium throughout the normal menstrual cycle.
Human reproduction (Oxford, England) ·doi:10.1093/humrep/den298

BackgroundEstrogen receptor related beta (ERRbeta, ESRRB/NR3B2) is an orphan receptor that shares significant sequence homology with estrogen receptors ERalpha and ERbeta. ERR family members are reported to exhibit constitutive transcriptio…
