KISS1/KISS1R expression in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women suffering from endometriosis.
In vivo (Athens, Greece)

BACKGROUND: The KISS1/KISS1R system has been implicated in the physiology of reproduction and many studies have documented the stimulatory effect of kisspeptin on Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone (GnRH) and gonadotropin secretion. In addition…

Insulinlike Growth Factor-1Ec (MGF) Expression in Eutopic and Ectopic Endometrium: Characterization of the MGF E-Peptide Actions In Vitro
Molecular medicine (Cambridge, Mass.) ·doi:10.2119/molmed.2010.00043

The transcription of the insulinlike growth factor 1 (igf-1) gene generates three mRNA isoforms, namely IGF-1Ea, IGF-1Eb and IGF-1Ec (or MGF [mechano growth factor]). Herein, we analyzed the expression of IGF-1 isoforms in eutopic and ectop…

Insulin‐Like Growth Factor–1 Isoform mRNA Expression in Women with Endometriosis
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1196/annals.1365.042

Pathogenesis of endometriosis involves growth factors, which are synthesized locally. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) prevents apoptosis and has mitogenic action on endometrial cells. The IGF-1 gene undergoes alternative splicing and r…

Laparoscopic Management of Patients with Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1196/annals.1290.030

Endometriosis has been traditionally included among the most important causes of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in women of reproductive age. The main clinical manifestations of endometriosis are dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and chronic nonmenstru…
