Melatonin is an indolaminergic pineal hormone that plays an important role in the regulation of the cardiovascular, neurological, immune, integumentary, endocrine systems, in particular, metabolism and reproductive processes. In the reproductive system, it is known that melatonin participates in physiological processes from the release of GnRH in the hypothalamus to endometrial receptivit…
The estrogens are responsible for many biologic process in ovaries. Their production and secretion contribute significantly for maintenance of women physiology. The 17 ²-estradiol (E2) is the more active form of natural estrogen. To perform its biological functions depends on estrogen receptor activation (ER± ou ²). Additionally, E2 controls the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway due to increased…
In previous and pioneer studies, we showed that, upon injection in the blood circulation, non-protein lipid nanoemulsions (LDE) with composition resembling low-density lipoprotein (LDL) have the ability to carry chemotherapeutic agents and concentrate them in malignant tumors or inflammation sites. By using LDE as vehicle, toxicity of those drugs was pronouncedly reduced without loss of a…

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that act in gene expression regulation. Abnormal expression is associated with cellular transformation, compromised therapeutic response, and worse prognosis in breast carcinoma due to regulatory effects on important signaling pathways. Nowadays, there is great interest in identifying modulating substances of miRNA expressions that might be use…
Estrogens account for numerous biological processes. In the ovaries, its production and secretion contribute significantly to the maintenance of female physiology. 17 ²-estradiol (E2) is the most active form of natural estrogen. To perform its function it depends on the activation of its receptor (ERa or b). In addition, it controls the PI3K / AKT signaling pathway by increasing its inter…
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a highly prevalent disorder in menacme women. There has been some improvement in the knowledge of this syndrome, but there are still some challenges in reproduction, mainly the low pregnancy rates and the obstetrical complications. It is thought that the endometrium would be responsible for those challenges. However only a bit is known about its transfo…
The temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) comprises disorders in joint structures and/or muscles related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Presents a high prevalence in females, suggesting a possible hormonal role, especially estrogens. Knowing that the hormonal action is dependent on the bindinghormone to its receptor, several studies have attempted to identify these components in temp…
