There is no relationship between Paraoxonase serum level activity in women with endometriosis and the stage of the disease: an observational study
Reproductive health ·doi:10.1186/1742-4755-10-32

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic condition whose pathophysiology is unknown, but there is evidence suggesting a link with oxidative stress. Paraoxonase is a serum enzyme which circulates associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL).…

The nuclear factor-kB functional promoter polymorphism is associated with endometriosis and infertility
Human immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.humimm.2012.08.008

IntroductionAn aberrant immunologic mechanism has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) plays a key role in the immune and inflammatory response and modulates cell proliferation, apopt…

TYK2 rs34536443 polymorphism is associated with a decreased susceptibility to endometriosis-related infertility
Human immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.humimm.2012.09.007

IntroductionTyrosine kinase 2 gene (TYK2) is part of the janus kinase (JAK) that binds to the type I interferon-α receptor (IFNAR) on the cell surface of IFN-producing cells, and have crucial importance in the etiology of autoimmune and inf…
