Cyclooxygenase enzyme expression and E series prostaglandin receptor signalling are enhanced in heavy menstruation
·doi:10.1093/humrep/del503

BACKGROUND: Although the mechanisms underlying the causes of heavy menstrual blood loss (MBL) remain to be elucidated, prostaglandins have been previously implicated. This study was initiated to elucidate a pattern of expression of the vari…

Prostaglandin receptors are mediators of vascular function in endometrial pathologies
Molecular and cellular endocrinology ·doi:10.1016/j.mce.2006.03.025

Prostaglandins are bioactive lipids produced from arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenase enzymes and specific terminal prostanoid synthase enzymes. Following biosynthesis, prostaglandins exert an autocrine/paracrine function by coupling to spec…
