Adiponectin receptors, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 are promising targets for the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases. In this study, we aimed to establish agonistic antibodies against AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 with a long enough half-life to p…

Our results suggest that peritoneal macrophages express IL-1ra mRNA rather than IL-1 beta mRNA with the progress of endometriosis and that peritoneal macrophages may secrete IL-1ra protein that modulates the effects of IL-1.

Ovarian endometriomas do not respond well to medical treatment with hormonal suppression, and surgical removal of the endometriomas is usually required. In this study, we attempt to identify the optimal laparoscopic procedures in laparoscop…

The levels of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in peritoneal fluid (PF-IL-1 beta and PF-TNF) and production of IL-1 beta and TNF by peritoneal macrophages were determined in patients with benign gynecologic dis…

1. Gestrinone has been used for treatment of pelvic endometriosis, in doses of 2.5 mg twice a week. This study is designed to clarify it from the dynamics of sex steroid receptors in rabbit uterus. 2. Four different regimens were scheduled,…

ABSTRACT: The effects of estradiol (E 2 ), progesterone (P), and danazol on the production of interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) by OK‐432 (a streptococcal preparation)‐stimulated monocytes were examined. E 2 and P at ph…

To understand the mechanism of action of danazol, the binding of danazol to multiple classes of intracellular steroid binding proteins was studied in the human uterine endometrium. Danazol bound to endometrial receptors for estrogen, proges…

This study was designed to clarify the effects of danazol on levels of serum luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin, progesterone (P), and 17 beta-estradiol and endometrial steroid receptors (for estrogen [E…
