UP-REGULATION OF INTERLEUKINS AND THEIR UNDERLYING PART TO DEVELOP ENDOMETRIOSIS IN WOMEN EXPERIENCING RETROGRADE MENSTRUATION
·doi:10.31032/ijbpas/2021/10.2.5390a

Endometriosis is associated with dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea and often severe pelvic pain as well as considered a chronic inflammatory disease, defined by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. An important general con…

Apoptosis in human endometrium and endometriosis
Human reproduction update ·doi:10.1093/humupd/dmh007

Apoptosis plays a critical role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and represents a normal function to eliminate excess or dysfunctional cells. Accumulated evidence suggests that apoptosis helps to maintain cellular homeostasis during the me…

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha promotes proliferation of endometriotic stromal cells by inducing interleukin-8 gene and protein expression
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.85.2.6335

Endometriosis, a common disease among women of reproductive age, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. We and others showed that several cytokine levels, including interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor nec…

Menstrual cycle-specific inhibition of the proliferation of endometrial stromal cells by interleukin 6 and its soluble receptor
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/s0002-9378(99)70599-5

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the possible roles of interleukin 6 and soluble interleukin 6 receptor in the growth of endometrial and endometriotic cells. STUDY DESIGN: Endometrial and endometriotic stromal cells were collected from t…

Role of Cytokines in Progression of Endometriosis
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000052857

Peritoneal fluid in women with endometriosis contains an increased number of activated macrophages that secrete a variety of cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, vascular endothelial growth factor, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha …

Effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, nafarelin, buserelin, and leuprolide, on experimentally induced endometriosis in the rat.
International journal of fertility and menopausal studies

OBJECTIVE -- The purpose of this study was to compare the potency of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists nafarelin, buserelin, and leuprolide in a newly developed model of experimental endometriosis, thus further characterizi…

Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)56571-6

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of leuprolide acetate (LA), a GnRH agonist (GnRH-a), and of danazol on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis in patients with endometriosis. DESIGN: Ten patients were divided into LA and danazol trea…

[Studies on endocrine therapy of endometriosis].
Nihon Sanka Fujinka Gakkai zasshi

GnRH agonist and synthetic steroid such as Danazol, Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and Gestrinone are useful for the treatment of patients with endometriosis. These compounds induce atrophy and regression of endometriotic tissue, but the…

Studies on GnRH Agonist Suppression of Estrogen Production in Patients with Endometriosis.
Endocrinologia japonica ·doi:10.1507/endocrj1954.36.611

The chronic administration of GnRH agonists to women results in the reversible suppression of estrogen production by the ovary. In the present study, the mechanism of the GnRH agonist suppression of estrogen production was investigated in p…
