The endocrine and paracrine control of menstruation
2012, Molecular and Cellular EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Endothelin is rapidly induced after tissue injury and is a potent vasoconstrictor. Endothelin expression varies along the menstrual cycle peaking in glandular cells during the perimenstrual phase (Marsh et al., 1996; Ohbuchi et al., 1995; Salamonsen et al., 1992). Endothelin receptor B is also increased in stromal and glandular cells during menstruation (Collett et al., 1996).
Regulation of matrix metalloproteinases activity studied in human endometrium as a paradigm of cyclic tissue breakdown and regeneration
2012, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Proteins and ProteomicsCitation Excerpt :It is therefore a likely inducer of expression of these MMPs upon progesterone withdrawal at menstruation. The potent vasoconstrictor endothelin is maximally expressed in glandular cells during the perimenstrual phase and TGF-β1 and IL-1α induce its expression [8, 74–76]. Endothelin receptor B is also increased in stromal and glandular cells during menstruation [77].
