A combination of interleukin-6 and its soluble receptor impairs sperm motility: implications in infertility associated with endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh324

BACKGROUND: We previously reported that the level of interleukin (IL)-6 is increased in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis. This study was undertaken to assess the effects of IL-6 and soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) on in vitro…

Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Met System Promotes Endometrial and Endometriotic Stromal Cell Invasion via Autocrine and Paracrine Pathways
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2003-030874

Endometrial stromal cells reportedly have a role in the initial invasion of endometrial tissue into the peritoneum. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which is a ligand for the c-met protooncogene product (Met), stimulates proliferation and in…

Role of Cytokines in Progression of Endometriosis
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000052857

Peritoneal fluid in women with endometriosis contains an increased number of activated macrophages that secrete a variety of cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, vascular endothelial growth factor, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha …
