Behavior of tumor necrosis factor-α and tumor necrosis factor receptor 1/tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 system in mononuclear cells recovered from peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis at different stages
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719114536472

During endometriosis, a breakdown occurs in endometrial and peritoneal homeostasis caused by cytokine-induced cell proliferation and dysregulation of apoptosis. We studied tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, TNF receptor (TNFR) 1, and TNFR2 gene…

Dysregulation of the Fas/FasL system in mononuclear cells recovered from peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis
Journal of Reproductive Immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2011.08.005

In endometriosis, regurgitating endometrial cells fail to undergo apoptosis and implant themselves outside the uterus, particularly in the peritoneum. We studied Fas and FasL behaviour by evaluating the percentages of mFas and mFasL-bearing…

Behaviour of Cytokine Levels in Serum and Peritoneal Fluid of Women with Endometriosis
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000067717

Endometriosis is a disorder characterised by presence and growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, primarily into the peritoneum. The peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with endometriosis undergoes a number of biological changes, includ…
