Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is a major proinflammatory cytokine that is believed to play a central role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. The IL-1 receptor type II (IL-1RII) is known to bind to IL-1 and to inhibit its biological effects. In…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the ability of peripheral blood serum from women with endometriosis to induce monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) secretion by monocytes and the putative role of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) system in endometriosis-assoc…
PROBLEM: Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), a potent inducer of macrophage recruitment and activation, is overexpressed in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis. Eutopic endometrial cells of women with endometriosis secre…
