Inducible nitric oxide synthase expression by peritoneal macrophages in endometriosis-associated infertility
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(01)02940-5

ObjectiveDetermine whether peritoneal macrophages from women with endometriosis-associated infertility express more inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) and produce more NO than fertile controls.DesignUnblinded clinical study.Patient(s)Ni…

article 1991
Peritoneal fluid and plasma levels of human macrophage colony- stimulating factor in relation to peritoneal fluid macrophage content
Blood ·doi:10.1182/blood.v78.2.513.513

The peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with infertility (especially in the presence of endometriosis) contains increased numbers of leukocytes, 90% to 95% of which are macrophages. The high numbers of peritoneal macrophages presumably result fr…

The stimulus responsible for the peritoneal fluid inflammation observed in infertile women with endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)54532-4

ObjectiveWe tested the hypothesis that menstrual debris from ectopic endometrium is the stimulus responsible for eliciting the peritoneal fluid (PF) inflammation observed in infertile women with endometriosis.Design, setting, patientsThe ex…

Reduced trypsin-binding capacity of α2-macroglobulin in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis: possible relevance to alterations in macrophase function
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)60006-7

Alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) is a plasma protein with proteinase inhibitor and immune modulatory capabilities. The amounts of alpha 2M in peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis and women with noninflammatory gynecologic con…

Reduction of the intraperitoneal inflammation associated with endometriosis by treatment with medroxyprogesterone acetate
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/s0002-9378(88)80106-6

An intraperitoneal inflammatory exudate has been repeatedly observed in infertile women without mechanical compromise of the pelvic viscera, particularly with endometriosis. This is manifested by increases in the peritoneal fluid volume, le…

The nature of the intraperitoneal exudate associated with infertility: peritoneal fluid and serum lysozyme activity
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)59534-x

An intraperitoneal inflammatory process has been associated with infertility in women without anatomic distortion of the pelvic viscera, particularly with endometriosis. This phenomenon was investigated by measuring peritoneal fluid (PF) an…

article 1985
Peritoneal macrophages and infertility: the association between cell number and pelvic pathology
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)49036-9

Increased numbers of peritoneal macrophages have been repeatedly associated with infertility. Because the factors contributing to this intraperitoneal exudate are unknown, this study was carried out to determine which anatomic or endocrinol…

article 1984
Peritoneal fluid prolactin in infertile women with endometriosis: lack of evidence of secretory activity by endometrial implants
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)48271-3

To evaluate the functional status of endometriotic implants, a luteal secretory product of endometrium, PRL, was measured in the PF of 27 infertile women with endometriosis, 13 infertile women without endometriosis, and 11 fertile women und…

Macrophages and infertility: oviductal macrophages as potential mediators of infertility
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)46877-9

Human peritoneal macrophages have previously been shown to phagocytize normal sperm. We had hypothesized that if macrophages were present in the distal oviducts, they could interfere with fertilization by phagocytizing sperm in vivo. The pr…

article 1982
Sperm phagocytosis by human peritoneal macrophages: A possible cause of infertility in endometriosis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/0002-9378(82)90217-4

The mechanism of infertility in women with endometriosis is unknown, but it is independent of mechanical factors that affect fallopian tube function. Increased numbers of peritoneal macrophages are present in women with endometriosis and ha…
