1. Effects of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals on Human Endometrial Endothelial Cells In Vitro
Sammanfattning : Evidence from an abundant number of studies suggests that human female reproductive functions have become impaired over the past half century and that there might be a relationship between endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and reduced fertility. It is, however, not known by what mechanisms EDCs affect different reproductive functions such as endometrial receptivity, embryo implantation and placentation. LÄS MER
2. Mifepristone for preoperative treatment of uterine leiomyoma
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

4. Effects of mifepristone on the human endometrium and the fallopian tube during the luteal phase
Sammanfattning : Mifepristone given postovulatory has been shown effective for contraception, but the precise mechanism of action is still poorly understood. A better understanding of the mechanisms of action of mifepristone, when used for contraception, is important for further development and optimizing the regimen of use. LÄS MER
5. Endometrial receptivity and development of new contraceptive methods
Sammanfattning : Ovulation and endometrial development as well as contraceptive efficacy was studied after treatment with the antiprogestin mifepristone. Mechanism of action after treatment with the gestagen levonorgestrel or mifepristone in doses effective for emergency contraception was also evaluated. LÄS MER
