OBJECTIVE: To investigate how long an ovulation stigma remains visible as determined by serial laparoscopies performed during the luteal phase in baboons. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: Sixteen female baboons with a normal pelvis (n = 6) and with e…

In women with endometriosis, changes in peripheral blood and peritoneal fluid white blood cell (WBC) populations have been reported, but it is known whether these alterations are casually related to or a consequence of endometriosis. The pu…

Laparoscopic excision of deeply infiltrating endometriosis in the cul-de-sac or the rectovaginal septum by means of electrosurgery or laser is performed frequently. Little is known about the long-term results or complications of this surger…

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that a recent corpus luteum (CL) without fresh ovulation stigma (OS) can be found with a higher incidence and recurrence in baboons with endometriosis and is associated with a reduced egg recovery rate afte…

This study was done to test the hypothesis that the incidence and recurrence of retrograde menstruation is higher in baboons with spontaneous endometriosis than in those without. A total of 399 laparoscopies was performed on 113 female babo…

BACKGROUND: It is not known whether stress affects the prevalence of endometriosis in women. Baboons with spontaneous endometriosis may be interesting models to study the human disease. For baboons, living in captivity is a period of chroni…

This study was performed to test the hypothesis that anti-endometrial, lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity and natural killer (NK) activity are reduced in baboons with endometriosis when compared to animals with a normal pelvis. Lymphocyte-med…

OBJECTIVE: The Sampson hypothesis of retrograde menstruation as a cause of endometriosis was tested by determining the effect of intrapelvic injection of menstrual versus luteal endometrium on the incidence, peritoneal involvement, and stag…

OBJECTIVE: We recently described a decreased lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity to autologous endometrium and to natural killer-sensitive targets in women with endometriosis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether the def…

Flow cytometry analysis of lymphocyte subpopulations in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis
PROBLEM: We investigated the lymphocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood (PB) and peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with and without endometriosis to evaluate if the decreased natural killer (NK)-mediated cytotoxicity in women with endometri…
