Interleukin-8 Induces Proliferation of Endometrial Stromal Cells: a Potential Autocrine Growth Factor1
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.83.4.4743

Proliferation of endometrium is dependent on sex steroid hormones, but specific growth factors are likely to play an important role in regulating this process. A number of cytokines and growth factors are synthesized in the endometrium in r…

The Peritoneal Fluid Levels of Interleukin‐12 in Women with Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1998.tb00347.x

PROBLEM: Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is produced mainly by monocytes/macrophages, and it induces proliferation and cytotoxicity of T-cells and natural killer cells. In women with endometriosis, natural killer cell activity in the peritoneal flui…

The role of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 in intraperitoneal adhesion formation
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/13.5.1194

Abdomino-pelvic adhesions arise from infection, endometriosis, or peritoneal injury during surgery, and represent a significant source of morbidity in women of reproductive age. Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) plays a role in the che…

Environmental toxins and endometriosis
Obstetrics and gynecology clinics of North America ·doi:10.1016/s0889-8545(05)70306-5

The effect of natural, environmental, or manufactured substances on endocrine organs is a current topic of discussion. Recently, some toxicants have been suggested to promote endometriosis; therefore, attention has turned to the role of env…

article 1997
Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 concentration in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis and its modulation of expression in mesothelial cells
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(97)81440-9
review 1997
PATHOGENESIS OF ENDOMETRIOSIS
Obstetrics and gynecology clinics of North America ·doi:10.1016/s0889-8545(05)70301-6

This article reviews the pathogenesis of endometriosis, which involves retrograde dissemination of endometrium and/or development in situ by metaplasia, and there is evidence suggesting that genetic and hormonal factors may play a role. The…

article 1996
Endocrinology and paracrinology
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/2.1.40

Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a chemoattractant and activating factor for human neutrophlls and a potent angiogenic agent. The peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis has been shown to have increased neutrophil chemotactic activity. We postu…

article 1996
Growth-regulated α expression in the peritoneal environment with endometriosis
Obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.1016/s0029-7844(96)00361-4

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the presence and modulation of growth-regulated alpha, a member of the chemokine family with neutrophil chemotactic activity, in the peritoneal fluid of women with or without endometriosis. METHODS: Peritoneal flui…

Peritoneal fluid from women with moderate or severe endometriosis inhibits sperm motility: the role of seminal fluid components
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)58637-3

OBJECTIVE: To examine the mechanism of sperm motility inhibition by peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized study. SETTING: University-based andrology laboratory. PATIENTS: Women with and without…

The effect of endometriosis on implantation: results from the Yale University in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer program
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)58162-x

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of endometriosis on implantation. DESIGN: Case-control study from Yale University IVF-ET program. PATIENTS: Two hundred eighty-four consecutive IVF cycles were analyzed retrospectively. Patients with end…

The peritoneal environment in endometriosis
Human reproduction update ·doi:10.1093/humupd/2.5.385

The local environment of peritoneal fluid (PF) surrounding the endometriotic implant is immunologically dynamic and links the reproductive and immune systems. Peritoneal fluid contains a variety of free floating cells, including macrophages…

article 1995
Large bowel-to-pelvic sidewall adhesions associated with chronic pelvic pain
The Journal of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists ·doi:10.1016/s1074-3804(05)80137-9

STUDY OBJECTIVES: To assess retrospectively the prevalence of colon-to-pelvic sidewall adhesions associated with pelvic pain or pelvic endometriosis, and to evaluate prospectively their prevalence compared with controls. DESIGN: A retrospec…
