Comparative Effect of the Calcium Antagonist Verapamil and the Synthetic Steroids Gestrinone and Danazol on Human Monocyte Phagocytosis in vitro
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000291809

Recent evidence suggested that periovulatory treatment with an immunomodulatory agent such as verapamil might be an effective alternative to conventional treatment for endometriosis-associated subfertility. In particular, it has been report…

Endometrial release of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and endometriosis: relationship to the extent of the disease
Obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.1016/s0029-7844(99)00465-2

OBJECTIVE: To relate endometrial release of the soluble form of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 with extent of endometriosis. METHODS: Samples of endometrium were collected from 23 women with endometriosis. Soluble intercellular adhesion …

Expression of GnRH receptor gene in human ectopic endometrial cells and inhibition of their proliferation by leuprolide acetate
Molecular and cellular endocrinology ·doi:10.1016/s0303-7207(99)00199-9
article 1998
Expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 mRNA and protein is enhanced in endometriosis versus endometrial stromal cells in culture
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/4.12.1150

The relationship between the immune and the endometrial systems has been recently suggested to be critical to the development of endometriosis. We previously showed that one of the molecules involved in the complex events that allow this in…

Human endometrial stromal cells as a source of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 molecules
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.humrep.a019353

Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1-mediated cell-cell adhesion is essential for various immunological functions, including natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity against endometrium. The present study was designed to establish…

article 1996
Modulation of NK Cell Lytic Function by Endometrial Secretory Factors: Potential Role in Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1996.tb00179.x

PROBLEM: Development and progression of endometriosis have been suggested to be related to a defect of NK cells in the ability to eliminate endometrial fragments regurgitated with menstrual debris in ectopic sites. However, it has not been …
