Ovarian cancer-associated polymorphisms in the BNC2 gene among women with endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/der169

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disease. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated associations between endometriosis and ovarian cancer. Recent genome-wide association studies of ovarian cancer have identified s…

IVF outcome in women with endometriosis in relation to tumour necrosis factor and anti-Müllerian hormone
Reproductive biomedicine online ·doi:10.1016/s1472-6483(10)60138-1

This study reports on anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in serum and follicular fluid (FF) in relation to inflammatory parameters in women with and without endometriosis undergoing IVF. Serum and FF samples were obtained from 72 women, with (n =…

Treatment with anti-TNF monoclonal antibody (c5N) reduces the extent of induced endometriosis in the baboon
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/del044

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), are important in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We assessed the efficacy of anti-TNF monoclonal antibody (mAb, c5…

article 2005
The effect of endometriosis, cycle stage, lymphocyte suppression and pregnancy on CA-125 levels in peritoneal fluid and serum in baboons
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dei181

BACKGROUND: Serum CA-125 during the mid-follicular phase has been reported to be a clinically useful and reproducible marker in the diagnosis of advanced endometriosis in women. This study was undertaken to document the effect of the menstr…
