Prostaglandin E2 receptor EP1 in healthy and diseased human endometrium
Histochemistry and cell biology ·doi:10.1007/s00418-017-1616-y

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is well described to be associated with both endometrial functions and disorders. The primary aim of this study was to explore the underlying mechanisms that affect the growth and function of endometrial epithelium a…

Inducers of G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) in endometriosis: potential implications for macrophages and follicle maturation
Journal of reproductive immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2012.10.013

Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent chronic inflammation and thus a condition of stress. Though the G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) has been shown to be up-regulated in ovarian endometriosis, insights involved in inducing this…

The G-Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER) is Expressed in Normal Human Ovaries and is Upregulated in Ovarian Endometriosis and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Involving the Ovary
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719112446085

Estrogens play a crucial role in maintaining ovarian function. Deregulation of estrogen signals is associated with fertility-impairing disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER…
