Cell proliferation and apoptosis in uterine leiomyoma were investigated during therapy with GnRH agonist (GnRHa). Patients with uterine leiomyomas were injected with 3.75 mg GnRHa (depot leuprolide acetate) at intervals of 4 weeks and underwent hysterectomy or myomectomy at the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th, or 16th week of GnRHa therapy. Tissue sections of leiomyomas from these patients and from control...

Background: Various investigations have established that carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), a clear, colourless, volatile, heavy and nonflammable liquid, causes generation of free radicals in many tissues such as testis. a wide range of side effects such as reproductive toxicity has been observed following the administration of this liquid in experimental animals. Numerous studies have shown that amo...
