High impact information on Endometrium

  • The interaction of neurohypophysial oxytocin with oxytocin receptors in the endometrium evokes the secretion of luteolytic pulses of uterine PGF2alpha [8].
  • Effects of raloxifene on bone mineral density, serum cholesterol concentrations, and uterine endometrium in postmenopausal women [9].
  • Regardless of the preparation and dosage of the estrogen and progestin used, wholly or predominantly proliferative endometrium was always associated with bleeding on or before day 10 after the addition of progestin; wholly or predominantly secretory endometrium, or a lack of endometrial tissue, was associated with bleeding on day 11 or later [10].
  • We conclude that many estrogen preparations subject the endometrium to a potent stimulus [11].
  • In the uterus, the increase in wet weight was accompanied by proliferation of the endometrium and induction of progesterone receptor (PgR) and complement component C3 [12].

Associations of Endometrium with chemical compounds

  • We conclude that the bleeding pattern reflected the histologic condition of the endometrium and that adjustment of the dosage of progestin so that regular bleeding is induced on or after day 11 may obviate the need for endometrial biopsy [10].
  • Nuclear receptors for both estradiol and progesterone were present in twofold higher concentrations in implantation sites than in nonimplantation regions of the endometrium of 6-day pregnant rats [26].
  • These data indicate that matrix metalloproteinases are expressed in cell-type, tissue, and reproductive cycle-specific patterns, consistent with regulation by steroid hormones, and with specific roles in the complex tissue growth and remodeling processes occurring in the endometrium during the reproductive cycle [27].
  • CONCLUSION: The endometrium and gastrointestinal organs may be target sites for tamoxifen-induced carcinogenesis in humans [28].
  • Mesenchyme-epithelial interactions in human endometrium. Prostaglandin synthesis in separated cell types [23].
 

Gene context of Endometrium

  • HOXA10 is expressed in response to sex steroids at the time of implantation in the human endometrium [29].
  • We conclude that placenta and endometrium express the same P450 as is found in fetal liver [19].
  • Identification of the fetal liver cytochrome CYP3A7 in human endometrium and placenta [19].
  • Our results show that LIF is the only one of these factors expressed at detectable levels in the endometrium of women of proven fertility [30].
  • LEFTY A is identical to ebaf, a cDNA previously identified in a search for genes expressed in human endometrium [31].
