This in vivo experimental study was designed to investigate the effects of probucol, a hypocholesterolemic agent, on uterine adenomyosis which is frequently induced by pituitary grafting in mice. SHN mice, which are known to develop uterine…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of angiogenesis inhibitor TNP-470 on uterine microvessels in mice. Pituitary grafting frequently induced uterine adenomyosis. DESIGN: In vivo experimental study. SETTING: Department of Biological Scie…
The possibility of therapeutic application of novel nonsteroidal progesterone receptor modulators CP8816 and CP8863 for preventing the development of uterine adenomyosis was investigated in mice. First priming effects of CP8816 on 17beta-es…
The inhibitory effects of a novel, orally active matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor, ONO-4817, on the development of uterine adenomyosis induced experimentally by pituitary grafting were examined in mice. Mice were given transplants o…
To evaluate the effects of mifepristone (RU486) on the development of uterine adenomyosis induced by pituitary grafting (PG), 3 groups of mice receiving pituitary grafts at 7 weeks of age were given RU486 in food (20 mg/kg chow) from 3-14 (…
