Pro-inflammatory M1/Th1 type immune network and increased expression of TSG-6 in the eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2017.08.014

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to explore the type 1 and type 2 cytokines expression in the endometrium from women affected by endometriosis compared to controls. The expression of TSG-6, a multifunctional protein involved in several inflammato…

Peritoneal fluid as an unrecognised vector between female reproductive tissues
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica ·doi:10.1080/00016340601155098

This essay discusses the potential contribution of peritoneal fluid to the regulation of reproductive processes in female mammals. After noting the relatively high concentrations of diverse hormones in peritoneal fluid, and accepting that i…

A dominant ovarian follicle induces unilateral changes in the origin of the blood supply to the tubal corner of the uterus
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dei179

BACKGROUND: The blood supply to the tubal corner of the uterus may originate from the uterine and ovarian arteries. The border of supply from the arteries has been found to move in young women; the change seemed dependent on ovarian steroid…

Endometriosis: absence of recurrence in patients after endometrial ablation
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/16.12.2676

BACKGROUND: The present study was undertaken to evaluate differences between patients with and without eutopic endometrium in the recurrence of ectopic endometriotic implants. METHODS: Endometrial ablation (EA) was carried out in 14 women …

Preferential vascular-based transfer from vagina to the corpus but not to the tubal part of the uterus in postmenopausal women
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/16.7.1329

BACKGROUND: Vaginal administration of progesterone during infertility treatment has therapeutic advantages over oral administration. However, the reasons for this are poorly defined. To demonstrate a preferential vagina-to-uterus distributi…

Mechanisms of uterine specificity of vaginal progesterone
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/15.suppl_1.159

Endometrial transformations achieved by vaginal progesterone exceed those normally expected from the circulating concentrations obtained, this suggests some degree of direct vagina to uterus transport. We speculate on the different mechanis…

Plasma concentrations of progesterone are higher in the uterine artery than in the radial artery after vaginal administration of micronized progesterone in an oil-based solution to postmenopausal women
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(97)00545-1

OBJECTIVE: To verify the occurrence of preferential distribution of vaginally administered progesterone to the uterus compared with extrapelvic regions in vivo and in humans. DESIGN: Prospective clinical study. SETTING: University medical…

Effects of progesterone administered by nasal spray on the human postmenopausal endometrium
Maturitas ·doi:10.1016/0378-5122(93)90030-l

The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of progesterone (P) administered by nasal spray (NS) in inducing secretory changes within estrogen and non-estrogen primed postmenopausal endometrium. Ten healthy post-menopausal women be…

Effects of the repetitive administration of progesterone by nasal spray in postmenopausal women
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)56403-6

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of 10 days of nasal spray P treatment on P serum levels and the endometrium. DESIGN: Prospective. SETTING: University Medical School. PATIENTS: Eight postmenopausal women received oral conjugated estrogens…
