Adenomyosis is a benign disease in women in which myometrium is invaded by endometrial glands and stroma. Our laboratory recently demonstrated that normal human endometrial glands and stroma express the hCG/LH receptor gene. This prompted u…
Our laboratory previously demonstrated that normal human endometrium contains hCG/human LH receptors. Since ectopic endometrial implants in endometriosis arise directly at least in part from uterine endometrium, we investigated whether the …
CA-125 has been found to be mildly elevated in the serum of patients with advanced stages of endometriosis, but not with minimal endometriosis. Peritoneal fluid levels were measured in conjunction with serum levels in 12 consecutive patient…
Peritoneal endometriotic implants and adjacent normal peritoneum from five patients were analyzed for prostaglandin (PG) release. Each tissue biopsy was incubated using medium 199 in triplicate at 37 degrees C for six hours, and PGF2 alpha …
Elevated prostaglandin (PG) levels in peritoneal fluid have been implicated as playing a role in infertility associated with endometriosis. This study was designed to measure peritoneal fluid levels of PG and other hormones that may influen…
