Increased tumor necrosis factor-alpha production by peripheral blood leukocytes from TCDD-exposed rhesus monkeys
Toxicological sciences : an official journal of the Society of Toxicology ·doi:10.1093/toxsci/60.2.327

Previous work has shown that exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is associated with a dose-dependent increase in the incidence and severity of endometriosis in the rhesus monkey. Studies also suggest that immune mechanism…

article 2001
Serum Levels of TCDD and Dioxin-like Chemicals in Rhesus Monkeys Chronically Exposed to Dioxin: Correlation of Increased Serum PCB Levels with Endometriosis
Toxicological sciences : an official journal of the Society of Toxicology ·doi:10.1093/toxsci/59.1.147

Humans and animals are exposed daily to a complex mixture of polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAHs). Previous work has shown that exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is associated with a dose-dependent increase in …

review 1999
The Potential Role of Environmental Toxins in the Pathophysiology of Endometriosis
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000052868

Environmental contaminants that are known to disrupt steroid action can influence the development of reproductive diseases. Our group has focused on whether 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD or dioxin) can disrupt steroid regulation…

article 1998
Profile of Endometriosis in the Aging Female Rhesus Monkey
The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences ·doi:10.1093/gerona/53a.1.m3

BACKGROUND: A retrospective analysis was conducted on necropsy records from a large rhesus monkey colony to evaluate the age-related prevalence of endometriosis. METHODS: A total of 314 records collected over a 15-year period were analyzed,…

review 1997
Immune Aspects of Endometriosis: Relevance of the Uterine Mucosal Immune System
Seminars in reproductive endocrinology ·doi:10.1055/s-2008-1068750

Endometriosis is classically defined as the growth of endometrial cells at sites outside the uterus. It is a common disease characterized by infertility, chronic pain and adhesion formation. Immune dysregulation, evidenced by decreased clea…

article 1995
Dysregulation of interleukin-6 responses in ectopic endometrial stromal cells: correlation with decreased soluble receptor levels in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis
·doi:10.1210/jc.80.4.1431
article 1995
Dysregulation of interleukin-6 responses in ectopic endometrial stromal cells: correlation with decreased soluble receptor levels in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis.
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.80.4.7714120

Endometriosis (EM) is characterized by the aberrant growth of endometrial cells at sites outside the uterus. We showed previously that peritoneal leukocyte interleukin-6 (IL-6) production is altered in women with EM relative to that in norm…

article 1995
Immunoresponsiveness in endometriosis: implications of estrogenic toxicants.
Environmental health perspectives ·doi:10.1289/ehp.95103s7151

Endometriosis is a reproductive disease characterized by the growth of endometrial cells at sites outside the uterus. This disease is a serious disorder associated with chronic pain and infertility, which may be present in 6 million women i…

article 1995
Uterus and endometrium: Inhibition of human endometrial stromal cell proliferation by interleukin 6
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.humrep.a136306

We investigated the ability of interleukin 6 (IL-6) to modulate human endometrial stromal cell growth in vitro. Stromal cell proliferation in response to treatment with varying concentrations of IL-6 was determined. Endometrial tissue was o…

article 1994
Altered interleukin-6 production by peritoneal leukocytes from patients with endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)56520-0
article 1993
Endometriosis in Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca mulatta) Following Chronic Exposure to 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin
