Peritoneal fluid concentrations of interleukin‐4 in relation to the presence of endometriosis, its stage and the phase of the menstrual cycle
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica ·doi:10.1034/j.1600-0412.2001.080004361.x

BACKGROUND: Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a cytokine with both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on the inflammatory system such as macrophage inhibition and T-cell activation. It is known to regulate several monocyte functions, including inhibi…

article 1998
Peritoneal fluid concentrations of interleukin-8 in women with endometriosis: relationship to stage of disease
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/13.7.1957

There is increasing evidence that immunological mechanisms play a role in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of endometriosis. It was therefore of interest to study interleukin-8 (IL-8), a chemokine, in the peritoneal fluid and peripheral…
