Evaluation of the potential role of diethylstilbestrol on the induction of endometriosis in a rat model - An alternative approach

Endometriosis is known to be a gynaecological condition characterised by persistent inflammation and abnormal development of endometrial stroma and glands。 Researchers require a rodent model to analyse the disease environment。 Animal models are the best option for investigating the etiology and effective treatment of debilitating illnesses in women since rodents, like humans, menstruate。 In order to develop the model system, diethylstilbestrol (DES) was examined for its ability to induce endometriosis in rats by investigating its effect on the estrus cycle, hormones, and key markers。 The results demonstrated that animals given DES had an erratic estrus cycle and aberrant hormone levels。 Histomorphology revealed the development of an endometriosis environment with degenerative epithelium and enlarged glandular cells after DES induction。 The higher levels of estrogen, progesterone, and MCP-1 were shown in the endometriosis induced animals。 Endometriosis-induced groups had decreased levels of HOXA10 and HOXA11 and increased levels ofVEGFand COX-2。 Finally, the DES demonstrated endometriosis induction efficacy, implying that it might be a viable replacement for endometriosis induction。
