Abstract
Endocrine disruptor plays a role as natural hormones in the body like estrogens or androgens, or thyroid hormones. It may act as the interaction of natural hormones with their receptor, or bind to a receptor and prevent the endogenous hormone from binding with their receptors. Endometrial tissue finds in uterus has gland, cells, and connective tissue. This tissue prepares the uterus for ovulation. The objectives of this review were to identify the effect of endocrine disruptors on endometrial cells. Electronic searches of literature were performed. From 38 titles, Full-text versions of the 15 identified titles were obtained and evaluated independently by two reviewers 8 of the full-text articles were excluded based on the established criteria. This process identified 7 articles for inclusion and data extraction. According the existing literatures, this study concluded that endocrine disruptors can affect on endometrial cells by regulate the expression of decidualization genes. But it can also cause endometrial dysfunction, disrupt vascular development and play important roles in tumorigenesis. The existing literatures reporting on this are small in volume and can be considered of generally low quality.
