We report a rare case of intrinsic ureteral endometriosis causing ureteral obstruction with adenomyosis, but without concomitant pelvic endometriosis.

We demonstrated the expression of Gas6, the protein product of the growth arrest-specific gene 6 (gas6) and a member of the vitamin K-dependent protein family, and its receptor tyrosine kinases, Axl and Sky, in human uterine and ovarian end…

This study was designed to examine the biological implications of progesterone receptor form A (PR-A) and B (PR-B) mRNA expressions in human ovarian endometriosis (ectopic endometrium). A high ratio of PR-B to PR-AB (PR-A+PR-B) mRNA express…

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) exon VII splicing variant messenger RNA (mRNA) in human ovarian endometriosis.DesignThe expression of SHBG variant mRNA in normal uterine endometrium and endometr…

We demonstrated the expression of various exon-deleted progesterone receptor (PR) variant mRNAs in human uterine endometrium and ovarian endometriosis using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-DNA sequencing analyses. In add…

We report a case in which gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist for a patient with pelvic endometriosis did not suppress the endometrial growth or serum levels of estradiol or follicle-stimulating hormone but did that of luteinizing hormon…

To discover the molecular mechanisms of estrogen-induced growth in ovarian endometriosis, the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors and their mRNAs was investigated. The expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors and thei…

― Recently, much evidence has indicated that sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) play a role in the intracellular action of sex steroids in target cells. In the present work, expression of SHBG mRNA…
