Discovery of phosphatidylcholines and sphingomyelins as biomarkers for ovarian endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/des152

BACKGROUND: Current non-invasive diagnostic methods for endometriosis lack sensitivity and specificity. In search for new diagnostic biomarkers for ovarian endometriosis, we used a hypothesis-generating targeted metabolomics approach. METHO…

Disturbed balance between phase I and II metabolizing enzymes in ovarian endometriosis: A source of excessive hydroxy-estrogens and ROS?
Molecular and cellular endocrinology ·doi:10.1016/j.mce.2012.12.019

Oxidative metabolism of estrogens was studied in 31 ovarian endometriosis and 29 normal endometrium samples, by qPCR. Expression was monitored for genes encoding five estrogen hydroxylating, five hydroxy (OH)-estrogen conjugating, and three…

Aldo-keto reductases AKR1C1, AKR1C2 and AKR1C3 may enhance progesterone metabolism in ovarian endometriosis
Chemico-biological interactions ·doi:10.1016/j.cbi.2011.01.003

Endometriosis is a very common disease that is characterized by increased formation of estradiol and disturbed progesterone action. This latter is usually explained by a lack of progesterone receptor B (PR-B) expression, while the role of p…

Disturbed estrogen and progesterone action in ovarian endometriosis
Molecular and cellular endocrinology ·doi:10.1016/j.mce.2008.07.020

Endometriosis is a very common disease in pre-menopausal women, where defective metabolism of steroid hormones plays an important role in its development and promotion. In the present study, we have examined the expression of 11 estrogen an…
