We attempt, within this review, to discuss the effects of hormones for their known impact on the wound healing cascade. Hormone receptors mediate a cellular response; changes in their expression, whether physiologic or pathologic, affect growth and development, and have effects on wound healing. Attempts to measure their distribution have been quite variable in their effectiveness not only between but within a given tissue. Other factors contribute to this variability. These include age, gender, and tissue histology (urinary mucosae, periurethral vessels, muscular layer, and connective tissue). Gene e... view more»
