background: Increased peritoneal eicosanoid concentrations have been reported in endometriosis patients and might be important in disease-associated pain and inflammation. Here, we evaluated the expression of key biosynthetic and catabolic …

Sampson's menstrual reflux theory is commonly used to explain the origin of endometriotic lesions in women. However, their pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Validated research models need to be developed with the aim of studying mechani…

BACKGROUND: Steroid sulfatase (STS) is involved in estrogen biosynthesis and expressed in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of disease-free and endometriosis patients. The present study was designed to investigate its role in endometriosis de…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder. Treatment with hormonal therapy suppresses estrogen and leads to regression of lesions. However, hormonal therapy is associated with significant morbidity, adverse effects, and recurrence of …

BACKGROUND: Aromatase has been reported to be involved in estrogen biosynthesis and expressed in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of endometriosis patients. The objective of the present study was to investigate its expression and localizatio…
