CONTEXT: Somatostatin plays a role in physiological and pathological cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Five subtypes of somatostatin receptors have been identified, and the therapeutic use of somatostatin receptor-selective agonists has …
Endometriosis is a chronic, multifactorial, polygenic gynecological disease. Endometrium has a high angiogenic potential and endometriotic lesions involve large areas with a rich blood supply. Angiogenesis is controlled by numerous inducers…

The pharmacogenetic approach to anti-angiogenic therapy should be considered a possible strategy for many pathological conditions with high incidence in Western countries, including solid tumors, age-related macular degeneration or endometr…
ObjectiveTo reproduce the earliest phases of endometriosis using a new in vitro model in which cells from a cultured endometrial fragment can proliferate, invade, reconstitute new endometrial-like tissue, and generate blood vessels.DesignEx…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the levels of the angiogenic factors vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin (IL-8) in ovarian cysts. DESIGN: Prospective descriptive study. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): One hundred …
Patients with endometriosis are characterized by the ability of the endometrium to implant and by the peritoneal response to the tissue; angiogenic factors may play a significant role in the aetiology of endometriosis supporting the implant…
