BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent disease, is believed to be influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors. Here, we evaluated whether the risk and severity of endometriosis are associated with polymorphisms in est…
The relationship between prostaglandins (PGs) production and the mechanism of dysmenorrhea in endometriosis is poorly understood. Consequently, we investigated the role of PGs in dysmenorrhea of endometriosis. Slices of normal endometrium, …
The role of prostaglandins (PGs) in dysmenorrhea of endometriosis is poorly understood. The relationship between dysmenorrheic severity and prostaglandin production was investigated in endometriosis. Slices of normal myometrium, adenomyosis…
In order to investigate the production of eicosanoids in human endometrium, myometrium, leiomyoma, adenomyosis, normal ovary, non-endometrial cyst and endometrial cyst, slices of each tissue were incubated. 6-Keto-prostaglandin (PG) F1 alph…
