Chemokine expression is dysregulated in the endometrium of women using progestin-only contraceptives and correlates to elevated recruitment of distinct leukocyte populations

Abstract

These data demonstrate that chemokine expression is dysregulated in p-exposed endometria, consistent with the morphological appearance of the endometrium and the leukocyte subsets present. This reinforces a potential role for chemokines in the elevated leukocyte recruitment that contributes to endometrial fragility and BTB.
