Melatonin causes regression of endometriotic implants in rats by modulating angiogenesis, tissue levels of antioxidants and matrix metalloproteinases
Archives of gynecology and obstetrics ·doi:10.1007/s00404-014-3599-4

PurposeThe aim of this study was to test if melatonin causes regression of endometriotic implants and whether it influences implant levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), tiss…

Atorvastatin causes regression of endometriotic implants in a rat model
Reproductive biomedicine online ·doi:10.1016/j.rbmo.2009.11.004

Endometriotic implants were induced surgically in female Wistar albino rats, which were randomly divided into three groups. The rats in group I (n=10) and group II (n=9) were given 2.5 mg/kg/day intraperitoneal and oral atorvastatin, respec…

Metformin regresses endometriotic implants in rats by improving implant levels of superoxide dismutase, vascular endothelial growth factor, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2, and matrix metalloproteinase-9
American journal of obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.ajog.2009.10.873

ObjectiveWe sought to test if metformin could regress endometriotic explants in rats.Study designAfter inducing endometriotic implants and randomization of female Wistar albino rats, they were given 25 and 50 mg/kg/day of oral metformin in …

Heterogeneous appearance of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) immunopositivity in cyst capsules of endometrioma
Acta histochemica ·doi:10.1016/j.acthis.2008.04.005

The aim of the research was to reveal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) immunolocalization in endometrioma cysts and endometrial tissues. The study group (group1) included 15 patients laparoscopically operated on for endometrioma an…
