Angiogenesis is important to folliculogenesis and oocyte maturation. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in follicular fluid (FF) induces folliculogenesis. Angiotensin II is involved in angiogenesis through angiotensin II receptors. T…
Background/Aim: We demonstrated that AT1 and AT2 are expressed and both pathways balance the renin-angiotensin system in endometriosis. MAS1, a specific receptor of angiotensin (1–7), opposes AT1 pathway-associated tissue remodelling. It is…

BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the gene and protein expression of angiotensin type (AT) 1, AT2 receptors in endometriotic lesions and its relation to prostaglandin (PG) synthases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Endometriosis…
A 34-year-old, gravida 0 para 0 Japanese woman visited a regional hospital complaining of dysmenorrhea, hematuria during menstruation, and right inguinal pain. She had a history of dysmenorrhea and three prior rounds of in vitro fertilizati…
PROBLEM: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are innate immune receptors that mediate the pattern recognition of, and response toward, pathogens and host-derived danger signals. We reported that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and microsomal prostaglandin …
PROBLEM: Recently, an inducible microsomal human prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES) was identified. This enzyme converts the cyclooxygenase (COX) product, prostaglandin (PG) H(2), to PGE(2), an eicosanoid linked to carcinogenesis. Although el…
Recently, an inducible microsomal human prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES) was identified. This enzyme converts the cyclooxygenase (COX) product prostaglandin (PG) H 2 to PGE 2 , an eicosanoid that has been linked to carcinogenesis. Increased…
PROBLEM: Human endometrial glands contain the highest levels of cyclooxygenase (COX), although whether it is COX-1 and/or COX-2 has not been previously determined. Overexpression of COX-2 may result in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. ME…
Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of B‐1 cells in the peritoneal cavity and peripheral blood of patients with endometriosis. Materials and Methods: We examined 31 patients with endometriosis and …
