Comparison of the effect of oestradiol, tamoxifen and raloxifene on nerve growth factor-alpha expression in specific neonatal mouse uterine cell types using laser capture microdissection
doi:10.1677/jme.0.0300001 ·PMID:12580757

Oral dosing of CD-1 mice on days 2-5 after birth with tamoxifen but not raloxifene disrupts the development of the myometrium, resulting in adult uterine adenomyosis. Using laser capture microdissection and RT-PCR we have investigated nerve…

Estrogen biosynthesis in endometriosis: molecular basis and clinical relevance
doi:10.1677/jme.0.0250035 ·PMID:10915216

Conversion of C(19) steroids to estrogens is catalyzed by aromatase in human ovary, placenta and extraglandular tissues such as adipose tissue, skin and the brain. Aromatase activity is not detectable in normal endometrium. In contrast, aro…

Localization of progesterone-associated endometrial protein mRNA by in-situ hybridization in human pregnancy decidua, endometriosis and borderline endometrioid adenoma
doi:10.1677/jme.0.0100071 ·PMID:8452641

Progesterone-associated endometrial protein (PAEP) has been isolated from human decidualized endometrium. In-situ hybridization histochemistry was employed to determine the cellular localization of PAEP mRNA in decidua during pregnancy. PAE…
