Genistein treatment did not affect vascularization or blood perfusion of endometriotic lesions or ovarian follicles, indicating it is not suitable for antiangiogenic therapy of endometriosis.

This paper studied whether genistein’s previously reported regression of endometriotic lesions is mediated by antiangiogenic effects. Endometrial fragments (to model endometriosis) and ovarian follicles from Syrian golden hamsters were transplanted into dorsal skinfold chambers, then treated with genistein (50 or 200 mg/kg) or vehicle, with vascularization and blood perfusion assessed over 14 days by intravital fluorescence microscopy and histology. Genistein inhibited neither angiogenesis nor perfusion in either graft type, as indicated by comparable microvessel density and histomorphology typical of well-vascularized lesions without regression by day 14. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it tests whether genistein affects vascularization and blood perfusion in endometriotic lesions in vivo.
