AIM: To test whether plasma BDNF levels are useful to predict the presence of endometriosis in women with pelvic pain. PATIENTS & METHODS: Prospective cross-sectional study including 67 consecutive women aged 24-49 years, scheduled for lapa…

Accurate noninvasive diagnostic tests for endometriosis are still missing. This study evaluated the predictive value of the neuropeptide urocortin 1 (Ucn1) to detect pelvic endometriosis in symptomatic women. We enrolled prospectively 97 co…

Introduction Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a proinflammatory and angiogenic factor produced by activated macrophages. TNF acts through the cell membrane receptors TNFR1 and TNFR2, whose soluble forms play an important role in regulating TN…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease for which no accurate peripheral diagnostic marker is available. Many cytokines and chemokines have been found altered in the plasma and peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosi…

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) may be associated with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). The standard treatment for CLL-associated ITP is steroids. For refractory cases, various treatment strategies such as rituximab, splenectomy, and throm…

The present study investigated expression and protein localization of FOXL2 messenger RNA (mRNA) in endometrium of healthy women and in patients with endometriosis during endometrial cycle. In endometriotic lesions, FOXL2 mRNA and protein w…

A comprehensive review was performed to survey the role of angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This is a multifactorial disease in which the development and maintenance of endometriotic implants depend on their invasive capac…

BACKGROUND: Activin A is a growth factor, produced by the endometrium, whose actions are modulated by the binding protein follistatin. Both proteins are detectable in the peripheral serum and their concentrations may be increased in women w…

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…

Urocortin 2 (Ucn 2) and urocortin 3 (Ucn 3) are neuropeptides expressed by human endometrium. This study evaluated (i) the expression of Ucn 2 and Ucn 3 mRNA in endometriotic lesions and in endometrium of women with endometriosis; (ii) the …

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent disorder. C-fos and c-jun are early transcription factors probably related to estradiol-dependent cell proliferation. C-fos gene expression is higher in endometriotic implants compared to normal …
