OBJECTIVE: To determine the changes in the peritoneal fluid proteome of women with endometriosis determined by the administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRH-a). STUDY DESIGN: Peritoneal fluid samples were collected du…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the peritoneal fluid (PF) proteome of fertile and infertile women with endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: PF samples were collected at laparoscopy from 26 fertile women and 26 infertile ones. Samples were subjected to 2-dim…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis has a wide range of severity but molecular factors associated with variable extension of the disease have not been widely investigated. The present study compares the peritoneal fluid (PF) proteome of 109 women with…

This study aims to evaluate differences in the expression of proteins present in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with and without endometriosis. PF samples were subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; protein spots of interest …

The surgical records of 882 women who had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy (EP) in 5 general hospitals in Vilnius, Lithuania, from 1993 through 1997, were reviewed assessing how many women also had endometriosis. The presence of endometrios…

ObjectiveTwo-dimensional gel electrophoresis is a powerful method for identifying post-translationally modified molecules in biological fluids. We examined the presence and expression of vitamin D binding protein (DBP) in the peritoneal flu…

Hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy) using saline and Echovist is a well tolerated outpatient technique that provides a significant amount of information of relevance to the infertile woman that is not obtainable at hysterosalpingog…

Recent advances in human cryobiology have been substantially greater than the first slow step from freezing spermatozoa in animals in Italy, published in 1776 to observing motility in frozen-thawed human sperm in 1938(1). Reports on cryopre…
