PROBLEM: The intracellular antioxidant system, based on glutathione (GSH), plays a key role in endometrial detoxification reactions and has been proposed to be involved in the pathogenesis endometriosis. This study was designed to evaluate …
Angiogenin, a potent inducer of angiogenesis, is expressed in human endometrium. This study was performed to compare the expression of angiogenin mRNA level in the eutopic endometrium from women with and without endometriosis. Thirty-two wo…
AIM: The objective of the present study was to compare the levels of expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), and platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A) mRNA in the eutopic endometrium of women wit…
We report an unusual case in which a rapidly growing adenomyosis was identified during the first trimester in a 35-year-old infertile woman achieving pregnancy after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. Relevant images are shown by magnetic…
