Activin A stimulates interleukin 8 and vascular endothelial growth factor release from cultured human endometrial stromal cells: possible implications for the pathogenesis of endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719111434542

BACKGROUND: Activin A is an endometrial secretory product involved in inflammation and angiogenesis. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of activin A and its antagonist follistatin on interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and vascular endoth…

Impaired CRH and Urocortin Expression and Function in Eutopic Endometrium of Women with Endometriosis
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2010-2263

CONTEXT: Women with endometriosis have altered endometrial function. CRH and urocortin (Ucn) are neuropeptides produced by human endometrium and modulate endometrial decidualization. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate endometrial mRNA expression of CRH…
