Detection of a unique 32-kd protein in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)56519-4

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that endometriotic tissue secretes endometriotic-specific proteins into the peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with endometriosis. DESIGN: A prospective design was utilized in this study. SETTING: Tertiary ca…

Immunomodulation of rat endometriotic implant growth and protein production
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1994.tb00860.x

PROBLEM: The immune system has been implicated in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. To determine if modulation of the immune system influences endometriotic implant growth and protein production, the following experiment was conducted. …

Polypeptides synthesized and released by rat ectopic uterine implants differ from those of the uterus in culture
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod48.6.1334

Unique endometriosis-specific secretory proteins would be of paramount importance as noninvasive markers for diagnosis and evaluation of therapeutic approaches for endometriosis. Furthermore, identification of endometriosis-specific secreto…

The presence of luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome and altered folliculogenesis in rats with surgically induced endometriosis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/0002-9378(93)90642-v

Detection of a progesterone-induced secretory protein synthesized by the uteri but not the endometriotic implants of rats with induced endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)54136-3

Steroids modulate the secretory activity of the uterus, but little is known of their effect on ectopic endometrium protein synthesis and secretion. We utilized two-dimensional electrophoresis to visualize proteins produced by the uteri and …

Spontaneous and steroid-induced recurrence of endometriosis after suppression by a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist in the rat
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/0002-9378(91)90652-8
article 1990

Follicular Atresia and Infertility in Rats Treated with a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist*
Endocrinology ·doi:10.1210/endo-127-1-25

Adverse effects of the GnRH antagonist Antide on folliculogenesis and fertility were noted when we were evaluating the therapeutic value of Antide on endometriosis in a rat model. Cyclic rats with (n = 56) and without (n = 18) surgically in…

Studies on the surgical induction of endometriosis in the rat
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)48988-0

As a model to examine the pathophysiologic attributes of endometriosis, attempts were made to surgically induce the disease in the rat by autotransplanting endometrial or uterine tissue to the peritoneum. Rats (n = 46) were randomly assigne…
