Abstract

To elucidate the mode of action of chlormadinone acetate (CMA) in reducing dysmenorrheic pain by studying the effects of CMA and dexamethasone (DEX) on messenger RNA (mRNA) abundance of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2), annexin-1 (ANXA1), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), progesterone receptor (PR), and concentrations of prostaglandin F(2?) (PGF(2?)) and leukotrienes B(4) (LTB(4)) and C(4) (LTC(4)) in human endometrial explants.
