Puerarin suppresses invasion and vascularization of endometriosis tissue stimulated by 17β-estradiol.

Puerarin suppresses invasion and vascularization of endometriosis tissue stimulated by 17β-estradiol.

BACKGROUND: Puerarin, a phytoestrogen with a weak estrogenic effect, binds to estrogen receptors, thereby competing with 17β-estradiol (E2) and producing an anti-estrogenic effect.
