KISS1/KISS1R expression in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women suffering from endometriosis.
In vivo (Athens, Greece)

BACKGROUND: The KISS1/KISS1R system has been implicated in the physiology of reproduction and many studies have documented the stimulatory effect of kisspeptin on Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone (GnRH) and gonadotropin secretion. In addition…

article 2001
Increased Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Activity Can Rescue KLE Endometrial-like Cells from Apoptosis
Molecular medicine (Cambridge, Mass.) ·doi:10.1007/bf03401835

BACKGROUND: The peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with endometriosis contains protease(s) activity able to hydrolyze insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), increasing the bioavailability of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)…

article 1999
Immunohistochemical localization of insulin-like growth factor–binding protein-3 in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(99)00443-4
article 1997
Association of protease activity against IGFBP-3 with peritoneal fluid mitogens: possible implications for the ectopic growth of endometrial cells in women with endometriosis.
Anticancer research

BACKGROUND: Recent data indicate the implication of an IGF/IGFBP/protease system in the development of ectopic implants of endometrium (endometriosis) in the pelvic cavity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We characterized mitogens and protease(s) aga…

article 1995
N-terminal truncated forms of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 in the peritoneal fluid of women without laparoscopic evidence of endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)57362-2
article 1993
Heparin-sepharose binding growth factors in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/0020-7292(93)90243-p

OBJECTIVE: To characterize and to purify the growth substances for mouse embryo fibroblasts (NIH/3T3) and endometrial-like cells of the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis. DESIGN: A pool of 102 mL of peritoneal fluid (PF) collecte…

Mitogen(s) for endometrial-like cells can be detected in human peritoneal fluid
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)54660-3

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the presence of mitogen(s) in the peritoneal fluid (PF). DESIGN: Aliquots of PF aspirated at laparoscopy were assessed for mitogenic activity by the rate of [3H]-thymidine incorporation into the deoxyribonucleic …
