Vasoactive intestinal peptide is upregulated in women with endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/aji.12857

PROBLEM: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) causes compromised the quality of life in women with endometriosis and is often attributed to local inflammation and ingrowth of nerve fibers. In this pilot study, we aimed to investigate whether the infla…

Endometrial expression of LIF and its receptor and peritoneal fluid levels of IL-1α and IL-6 in women with endometriosis are associated with the probability of pregnancy
Archives of gynecology and obstetrics ·doi:10.1007/s00404-015-3626-0

PURPOSE: To investigate whether eutopic endometrial expression of leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), LIF receptor (LIFR) and glycoprotein 130 (gp130) in subfertile women with endometriosis and in healthy controls is related to the probabili…

Levels of oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and αB-crystallin in eutopic endometrium in relation to pregnancy in women with endometriosis
Human fertility (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.3109/14647273.2014.922705

Endometriosis affects fertility in many women and may partly be due to decreased endometrial receptivity. Several mechanisms have been suggested, notably, progesterone resistance for which a number of candidate biomarkers have been suggeste…

Signs of reduced angiogenic activity after surgical removal of deeply infiltrating endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2009.02.019

OBJECTIVE: To study the concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptors-1 and -2 (sVEGFR-1 and -2), angiogenin, and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) in serum and peritoneal fluid f…

article 2006
Elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor-2 in serum from women with endometriosis
American journal of obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.ajog.2005.08.064

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine whether serum and peritoneal fluid levels of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) differ between women with and without endometriosis and to examine the relationship between proliferative ac…

article 2006
The relationship between microvessel density, proliferative activity and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A and its receptors in eutopic endometrium and endometriotic lesions
Reproduction (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.1530/rep.1.01110

Studies were performed to elucidate the possible relationship between microvessel density, proliferative activity and angiogenesis in eutopic endometrium from women with and without endometriosis and peritoneal endometriotic lesions. The qu…
