Peritoneal fluid concentrations of interleukin-8 in women with endometriosis: relationship to stage of disease
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/13.7.1957

There is increasing evidence that immunological mechanisms play a role in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of endometriosis. It was therefore of interest to study interleukin-8 (IL-8), a chemokine, in the peritoneal fluid and peripheral…
