The immunoreactivity of VEGF, VEGFR-2 and MMP-9 was detected predominantly in the stroma (#), primarily around the glands in untreated endometriosis (A, B, C). Treated endometriotic lesions (D, E, F) exhibited a significant decrease in reac…
Expression of mRNA encoding for VEGF (A), KDR (C) and MMP-9 (D) assayed using RT-PCR. VEGF concentrations (B) were measured suing ELISA immunoassays in control endometriosis lesions and lesions treated with açaí. The levels of VEGF and MMP-…
In the endometriotic microenvironment, the macrophages are essential to promote the angiogenesis process and inflammation because it leads to increase the VEGF, iNOS and COX-2 genes expression. Açaí acts in this pathway and decreases the nu…
