PROBLEM: Previous studies have established that in vitro proliferation of endometrial cells is enhanced by peripheral blood monocytes (PBM) and suppressed by peritoneal macrophages (PM) from patients with endometriosis but only suppressed b…
During the past decade, evidence has accumulated indicating an association between endometriosis and changes in humoral and cell-mediated immunity. However, it is not clear whether immune changes are the sequelae or play a role in the etiop…
It is well recognized that cell-mediated immune responses contribute to the elimination of foreign antigens and cells from the invading organism. It is also likely that the immune system can recognize and eliminate altered or misplaced auto…
Danocrine (danazol) is a synthetic steroid with multiple and diverse biologic effects. It exerts these effects by binding to steroid transport proteins in the circulation and to specific receptors in target tissues. Centrally, danazol inhib…
Danazol-induced Pseudomenopause in the Management of Endometriosis W Paul Dmowski; Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology
Seven women with recurrent endometriosis after definitive surgery were evaluated. Plasma estradiol, FSH and LH indicated that recurrence was stimulated by residual ovarian fragments in six and pseudopregnancy regimen in one. Surgical treatm…
Preliminary reports indicate that products of human mononuclear phagocytes may contribute to the infertility associated with endometriosis. To determine whether the generation of reactive oxygen metabolites by blood monocytes and peritoneal…
Endometriosis appears to be a systemic disease with alterations in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity. An immune defect may allow ectopic implantation of the endometrial cells with subsequent development of autoantibodies.
Both hyperprolactinemia and endometriosis are associated with infertility. A study was performed to ascertain whether sleep-related prolactin (PRL) hypersecretion was present in endometriosis. Fifty-five consecutive infertile women with reg…
