ObjectiveTo review the evidence on exposure to environmental contaminants and immune system disruption, and how this has been demonstrated or hypothesized to impact reproductive health and fertility.DesignReview of literature.Result(s)Expos…

Humans and animals are exposed daily to a complex mixture of polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAHs). Previous work has shown that exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is associated with a dose-dependent increase in …

Previous work has shown that exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is associated with a dose-dependent increase in the incidence and severity of endometriosis in the rhesus monkey. Studies also suggest that immune mechanism…

review
1999
Environmental contaminants that are known to disrupt steroid action can influence the development of reproductive diseases. Our group has focused on whether 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD or dioxin) can disrupt steroid regulation…

BACKGROUND: A retrospective analysis was conducted on necropsy records from a large rhesus monkey colony to evaluate the age-related prevalence of endometriosis. METHODS: A total of 314 records collected over a 15-year period were analyzed,…
1997
Viable tissue sections and isolated cell cultures from the human fallopian tube, uterus, cervix, and vaginal mucosa were examined for susceptibility to infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). We examined infectivity by u…

1997
Endometriosis is classically defined as the growth of endometrial cells at sites outside the uterus. It is a common disease characterized by infertility, chronic pain and adhesion formation. Immune dysregulation, evidenced by decreased clea…

1995
Endometriosis (EM) is characterized by the aberrant growth of endometrial cells at sites outside the uterus. We showed previously that peritoneal leukocyte interleukin-6 (IL-6) production is altered in women with EM relative to that in norm…

Endometriosis is a reproductive disease characterized by the growth of endometrial cells at sites outside the uterus. This disease is a serious disorder associated with chronic pain and infertility, which may be present in 6 million women i…

1995
We investigated the ability of interleukin 6 (IL-6) to modulate human endometrial stromal cell growth in vitro. Stromal cell proliferation in response to treatment with varying concentrations of IL-6 was determined. Endometrial tissue was o…

ObjectivesTo investigate the ability of peritoneal leukocytes to produce interleukin-6 (IL-6) in vitro and to determine whether IL-6 is present in the peritoneal fluid (PF) in vivo.DesignPeritoneal leukocytes were assessed for spontaneous v…
article
1993
The incidence of the reproductive disease endometriosis was determined in a colony of rhesus monkeys chronically exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD or dioxin) for a period of 4 years. Ten years after termination of dioxin …
