It can cause symptoms of pain and/or infertility. The current medical therapy focuses on reducing estradiol levels or stimulating progesterone response. One of the most effective options for medical treatment is the use of GnRH analogs. Dienogest have a direct anti-inflammatory effect on endometriotic stromal cells. However, a comparison of the anti-inflammatory effects of these drugs on IFN-Ɣ has not been previously investigated. Therefore, this study aims to compare the effects of reducing IFN-Ɣ by both Dienogest and Leuprolide Acetat in a mouse model.\nMaterial and Methods: This study employed a post-test only control group design and involved 4 groups, namely the negative control group, positive control group, and two treatment groups: one group administered Dienogest at a dosage of 0.0052 milligrams per day for 14 days, and the other administered Leuprolide Acetat at a dosage of 0.00975 milligrams once every 5 days for a period of 14 days. Serum IFN-Ɣ levels were measured using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The data were subsequently analyzed using IBM SPSS 25 with One-Way ANOVA test.\nResults: This study demonstrated that Leuprolide Acetat significantly decreased serum levels of IFN-Ɣ, whereas Dienogest actually increased the levels .\nConclusion: In a mouse model of endometriosis (Mus musculus), Leuprolide Acetat effectively reduced the levels of IFN-Ɣ (pro-inflammatory). Conversely, Dienogest increased the levels of IFN-Ɣ (anti-inflammatory) in the mouse model of endometriosis.\nDownloads\nPublished\nIssue\nSection\nLicense\nCopyright (c) 2023 Maria Antonia Barbara Batu Mali, Siskanita Nur Fitriana, Sutrisno Sutrisno, Husnul Khotimah, I Wayan Arsana Wiyasa, I Wayan Agung Indrawan, Maharani Maharani\nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
