article 2006
Expression of aromatase (P450 aromatase/CYP19) in peritoneal and ovarian endometriotic tissues and deep endometriotic (adenomyotic) nodules of the rectovaginal septum

Serum dioxin-like compounds and aromatase (CYP19) expression in endometriotic tissues
Toxicology letters ·doi:10.1016/j.toxlet.2006.10.005

Dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) are suspected etiological factors of endometriosis but their potential mechanisms of action remain elusive. Because endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease and since aromatase (CYP19), a key enzyme in est…

Increased dioxin-like compounds in the serum of women with peritoneal endometriosis and deep endometriotic (adenomyotic) nodules
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2005.04.001

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible association between the body burden of dioxin-like compounds and endometriotic disease. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: Gynecology ward in a university hospital. PATIENT(S): Seventy-one women w…

Increased serum polychlorobiphenyl levels in Belgian women with adenomyotic nodules of the rectovaginal septum
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2003.07.011

The sum of bulk polychlorobiphenyl levels was significantly higher in women with rectovaginal adenomyosis than in women with endometriosis and controls.

Dioxin/polychlorinated biphenyl body burden, diabetes and endometriosis: findings in a population-based study in Belgium
Biomarkers : biochemical indicators of exposure, response, and susceptibility to chemicals ·doi:10.1080/1354750032000158420

Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants widely distributed in the food chain, which is the main source of human exposure. Their effects on human health at background exposure levels are still poorly un…
