ObjectiveOur aim was to examine the relationship between the levels of cytokines in peritoneal fluid and its embryo toxicity.Study designThe levels of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor were measured in peritoneal fluid from infertile …

Glycogen content in endometrium with endometriosis was about half of that without endometriosis at the secretory phase, whereas no difference was found in the proliferative phase. The activity of glycogen synthetase in endometrium with endo…

A primary cell culture of endometriotic cells was established to examine the hormonal regulation of endometriosis. The addition of estradiol had no effect on the DNA synthesis of cultured endometriotic cells. Progesterone at 10(-7) M caused…

A primary cell culture of endometriotic cells was established to examine the hormonal regulation involved in the growth of endometriosis. The addition of estradiol had no effect on the DNA synthesis of cultured endometriotic cells. Progeste…

To clarify the mechanism of infertility associated with endometriosis (EM), the effect of peritoneal fluid (PF) on early embryogenesis was examined. The addition of PF (5%) had no effect on the development of mouse 2-cell embryos. Since the…

The actions of danazol on the release of gonadotropins and prolactin (PRL) were investigated by using a culture of rat anterior pituitary gland cells. The addition of danazol in the range between 10(-9) M and 10(-5) M elevated the levels of…

Luteal function in 44 infertile women with endometriosis were studied with reference to prolactin (PRL) and compared with 34 unexplained infertile women without endometriosis. To assess luteal function, serum progesterone (P4) levels were m…
