Role of estrogens in inflammatory response: expression of estrogen receptors in peritoneal fluid macrophages from endometriosis
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1196/annals.1351.024

Estrogens are involved in the immune response, and macrophages express estrogen receptors (ER). Moreover, macrophages are the predominant cell type in the peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients. On this basis, the aim of our study was…
