Abstract:Endometriosis (EMS) is often observed in women of childbearing age and significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. Ritodrine is a β2 receptor agonist applied for relaxing the uterine smooth muscle. Its inhibitory effects on inflammation have recently been noted. The present study explored the protective impact of Ritodrine on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)- induced injury in endometrial stromal cells (ESCs). Human ESCs (HESCs) were treated with Ritodrine (0.1, 0.5 μM) for 24 h, followed by exposure to H/R fo… Show more
