1. Molecular mechanisms involved in the growth of human uterine leiomyomas
Abstract : Human uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are benign neoplasms arising from uterine smooth muscle cells, and are suggested to be sex steroid dependent. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which sex steroids, mainly estrogen and progesterone, influence the growth of Ieiomyomas. READ MORE

2. Effects of some Endocrine Disruptors on Human and Grey Seal Uterine Cells
Abstract : The effects of environmental contaminants in humans and animals are of great concern. Some contaminants are endocrine disruptors that may interfere with the endogenous hormonal signalling and disturb, for example, reproductive organs and functions. READ MORE

3. Mifepristone for preoperative treatment of uterine leiomyoma
Abstract : AIM: To explore the clinical impact and its molecular regulation on uterine leiomyomas in preoperative treatment with mifepristone, a progesterone receptor modulator (PRM). BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyomas are highly prevalent in fertile women, increasing with age up to 35-50 % in a population approaching the age of 50. READ MORE

4. Hormonal regulation of sex steroid receptors and growth related genes in human myometrium and leiomyomas
Abstract : Uterine fibroids, or leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors in the female genital tract.They represent a major cause of gynaecologic morbidity. The etiology of these tumors is largely unknown but the levels of estrogen (E) and progesterone (P) are considered to be the major determinants for fibroid growth. READ MORE
