Concentration of osteoprotegerin (OPG) in peritoneal fluid is increased in women with endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh412

BACKGROUND: Failure of apoptosis of refluxed endometrial cells within the peritoneal cavity is a possible etiologic factor for development of endometriosis. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a survival factor that exerts its effect by binding to tum…
