CONTEXT: is a potent angiogenic factor in endothelial cells. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether or not the F-prostanoid receptor modulates angiogenesis in ectopic stromal cells. DESIGN: signaling was assessed. SETTING: The study was …
Studies have long sought specific cytokines that could characterize endometriosis. Either due to variations between study designs regarding the assessment criteria for the cytokine or to low power resulting from small sample size, no factor…
Pelvic inflammation is a hallmark of endometriosis pathogenesis and a major cause of the disease's symptoms. Abnormal immune and inflammatory changes may not only contribute to endometriosis-major symptoms, but also contribute to ectopic en…
ObjectiveTo investigate prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis and catabolism pathways in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women with endometriosis.DesignRetrospective study.SettingHuman reproduction research laboratory.Patient(s)Forty-five wome…
Immune-endocrine interplay may play a major role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In the present study, we have investigated the interaction between macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a major pro-inflammatory and growth-prom…
Endometriosis is often associated with a chronic pelvic immuno-inflammatory process, which is closely related to disease pathogenesis and major symptoms. Our studies led to the detection of a marked imbalance between IL-1 and its natural in…
ObjectiveTo investigate interleukin (IL) 1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAcP) expression in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis.DesignRetrospective study.SettingHuman reproduction research laboratory.Patient(s)Sixty-six wo…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the levels of interleukin-1beta (IL1beta) and its inhibitory soluble interleukin-1 receptor type II (IL1R2) in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of normal women and patients with endometriosis suffering from pelvic pain and i…
