Lipid-laden uterus: Investigating uterine fibroids and lipid association
Uterine Fibroids (UF) are the most common (about 70 % cases) benign gynecological smooth muscle tumors of the uterus in women of reproductive age, characterized by abnormal cholesterol, lipoproteins, and triglyceride levels, and are a major public health concern. Despite its high prevalence, this condition remains complex and poorly understood. These tumors are hormone-dependent and hormones and lipid levels are inversely related. This review delves into the existing literature and critically evaluates studies that explore the potential relationship between lipids in the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids. This review concludes by critically appraising the research gaps in the involvement of lipids and signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids and future directions for investigating this intriguing biological connection. By elucidating the potential link between uterine fibroids and lipids, this review paves the way for an improved understanding of fibroid pathogenesis, personalized risk assessment, and novel lipid-lowering therapeutic strategies.
期刊介绍:
Pathology, Research and Practice provides accessible coverage of the most recent developments across the entire field of pathology: Reviews focus on recent progress in pathology, while Comments look at interesting current problems and at hypotheses for future developments in pathology. Original Papers present novel findings on all aspects of general, anatomic and molecular pathology. Rapid Communications inform readers on preliminary findings that may be relevant for further studies and need to be communicated quickly. Teaching Cases look at new aspects or special diagnostic problems of diseases and at case reports relevant for the pathologist''s practice.
