Hormonal Regulation of Gonadal Angiogenesis

  • Chapter

  • 103 Accesses

Part of the book series: Cardiovascular Molecular Morphogenesis ((CARDMM))

Abstract

In the reproductive system, the rapid growth and regression of decidual tissue depends on concomitant increases and decreases in the extent of the vascular network supporting that tissue. This suggests that, like reproductive organ function, angiogenesis and vessel regression are regulated by gonadal steroids. This chapter considers the evidence supporting this hypothesis and discusses potential mechanisms by which these hormones may modulate vascular cell function.
