Steroidogenic factor-1 and endometriosis
Molecular and cellular endocrinology ·doi:10.1016/j.mce.2008.12.012

Endometriosis is a common and chronic disease characterized by persistent pelvic pain and infertility. Estradiol is essential for growth and inflammation in endometriotic tissue. The complete cascade of steroidogenic proteins/enzymes includ…

Promoter Methylation Regulates Estrogen Receptor 2 in Human Endometrium and Endometriosis1
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod.107.061804

Steroid receptors in the stromal cells of endometrium and its disease counterpart tissue endometriosis play critical physiologic roles. We found that mRNA and protein levels of estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2) were strikingly higher, whereas leve…

Transcriptional Activation of Steroidogenic Factor-1 by Hypomethylation of the 5′ CpG Island in Endometriosis
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2007-0494

CONTEXT: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1), a transcriptional factor essential for activation of multiple steroidogenic genes for estrogen biosynthesis, is undetectable in normal endometrial strom…

Tubal factors in infertility
Current opinion in obstetrics & gynecology ·doi:10.1097/00001703-199204000-00003

Proximal, distal, and peritubal damage can be caused by a number of pathologic processes such as inflammation, endometriosis, and surgical trauma. The diagnosis of tubal occlusion relies primarily on hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy, and…

Peritoneal fluid and serum autoantibody levels in patients with endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)53274-9

Patients with endometriosis demonstrate autoantibody abnormalities in their peripheral blood. Whether such abnormalities can also be detected in the peritoneal cavity, has not been established. We therefore investigated autoantibodies to 6 …

Reproductive failure because of autoantibodies: Unexplained infertility and pregnancy wastage
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/0002-9378(89)90858-2

Abnormal polyclonal B cell activation has been demonstrated in patients with endometriosis. To determine whether the noted B cell abnormalities were primarily a feature of the disease endometriosis or its manifestations of infertility and p…

The thromboelastogram and circulating lupus anticoagulant.
The Journal of reproductive medicine

Abnormal lupus anticoagulant (LA) levels, as measured with the activated partial tissue thromboplastin and tissue thromboplastin inhibition tests, are associated with a predisposition toward thromboembolic phenomena. Thromboelastogram (TEG)…

Vesical endometriosis following bladder injury
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/0002-9378(85)90700-8

The development of endometriosis in the area of a previous bladder wall injury is described. This represents the first documented case of endometriosis occurring after such injury.
