Estrogen metabolizing enzymes in endometrium and endometriosis.
BACKGROUND Estradiol (E(2)) is an important promoter of the growth of both eutopic and ectopic endometrium. The findings with regard to the expression and activity of steroidogenic enzymes in endometrium of controls, in endometrium of endometriosis patients and in endometriotic lesions are not consistent. METHODS In this study, we have looked at the mRNA expression and protein levels of a ran...
متن کاملEstrogen production by fetal and infantile rat ovaries.
The de novo production of estrone and estradiol by the fetal and infantile rat ovary and its regulation by cAMP, LH and FSH were investigated. Basal estrogen secretion was not demonstrable before d 5 after birth. However, the fetal ovary was responsive to cAMP as early as 14 d old. Estrone was the main estrogen secreted. Steroid aromatase inhibitors inhibited cAMP-stimulated estrone secretion. ...
متن کاملEffects of treadmill exercise training on cerebellar estrogen and estrogen receptors, serum estrogen, and motor coordination performance of ovariectomized rats
Objective(s): The present study aims at examining the motor coordination performance, serum and cerebellar estrogen, as well as ERβ levels, of ovariectomized rats (as menopausal model) following regular exercise. Materials and Methods:Ten female Sprague Dawley ratsaged 12 weeks old were randomly divided into two groups; all of which underwent ovariectomy. The first group was treated with regula...
متن کاملExpression of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), occurs mostly in women and sex hormones may play a role in the pathogenesis and clinical course. The objective of this study was to determine the status and prevalence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in PTC with regard to age, gender, tumor size and lymph node involvement. Methods: Immunohistochemical stains were performed on 92 tissue bl...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of genetic polymorphisms in estrogen metabolizing enzymes in human breast cancer.
Epidemiologic studies indicate that most risk factors for breast cancer are related to reproductive and hormonal factors. For a number of years, the mechanism for estrogens in carcinogenesis was thought to be that of mitotic stimulation, with the growth promotion of ductal epithelial cells harboring precursor mutations in the breast. However, evidence is now available that estrogens may act as ...
