OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of endometriotic haptoglobin on peritoneal macrophage function. DESIGN: Prospective laboratory study. SETTING: School of medicine. PATIENT(S): Twenty-three women with and without endometriosis. INTERVE…
Peritoneal endometriotic tissues synthesize and secrete haptoglobin (pHp), which has an analogous nucleotide sequence to hepatic haptoglobin found in serum (sHp). This study performed enzymatic digestions and lectin binding assays to determ…
In vivo levels of mRNA and the specificity of the extrauterine environment on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3, MMP-2, and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 were evaluated in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissue during…
A unique glycoprotein, called endometriosis protein-I (ENDO-I), has previously been shown to be synthesized and secreted by rat and human endometriotic explants. Furthermore, the N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis showed that ENDO-I sh…
