Effects of 17β‐estradiol on the release of monocyte chemotactic protein‐1 and MAPK activity in monocytes stimulated with peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research ·doi:10.1111/j.1447-0756.2011.01734.x

AIM: Hormones and inflammation have been implicated in the pathological process of endometriosis; therefore, we investigated the combined effects of 17β-estradiol (E2) and peritoneal fluid obtained from patients with endometriosis (ePF) or …

Effects of peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients on the release of monocyte-specific chemokines by leukocytes
Archives of gynecology and obstetrics ·doi:10.1007/s00404-010-1583-1

PurposeChemokines have been implicated in the pathological process of endometriosis. We compared the effects of peritoneal fluid obtained from patients with endometriosis (ePF) and controls without endometriosis (cPF) on the release of mono…

Effects of peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients on interferon-gamma-induced protein-10 (CXCL10) and interleukin-8 (CXCL8) released by neutrophils and CD4+ T cells
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2009.00722.x

PROBLEM: Intraperitoneal immuno-inflammatory changes may be associated with the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We evaluated the effects of peritoneal fluid obtained from patients with endometriosis (ePF) on the release of interferon-gamma-i…

article 2007
Peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients switches differentiation of monocytes from dendritic cells to macrophages
Journal of reproductive immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2007.03.013

Immunological abnormalities of cell-mediated and humoral immunity might be associated with the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This study has examined the effects of peritoneal fluid obtained from patients with endometriosis (ePF) on the phe…

article 2006
Effects of peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients on the release of vascular endothelial growth factor by neutrophils and monocytes
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/del077

BACKGROUND: An increase in the level of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production has been reported in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of endometriosis patients. This suggests that changes in the vascular permeability and angiogene…

IL-10-dependent down-regulation of MHC class II expression level on monocytes by peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients
International immunopharmacology ·doi:10.1016/j.intimp.2005.05.004

Endometriosis is a gynecologic disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of misplaced endometrial cells. Moreover, immunological abnormalities of cell-mediated and humoral immunity may be associated with the pathogenesis of endometriosis…

Nitric oxide inhibition of the proliferation of ovarian endometriotic stromal cells in vitro.
The Journal of reproductive medicine

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of nitric oxide on endometrial cell proliferation and the effects of peritoneal fluid from women with and without endometriosis on the production of nitric oxide and upon the nature of nitric oxide-indu…

article 2002
Modulation of neutrophil apoptosis by plasma and peritoneal fluid from patients with advanced endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/17.3.595

BACKGROUND: The increased production of pro-inflammatory chemoattractant cytokines for neutrophils in endometriosis suggests that changes in the immune system play an important role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. The effects of pl…
