Sex steroidal regulation of uterine leiomyoma growth and apoptosis

1 May 2004

Abstract excerpt

Uterine leiomyomas develop during the reproductive years and regress after menopause, indicating ovarian steroid-dependent growth potential. Although the clinical and biochemical observations have traditionally supported an important role for estrogen in the promotion of leiomyoma growth, there is also increasing evidence to suggest the involvement of progesterone in the pathogenesis of leiomyoma. In this review,...
