OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible ability of homocysteine (Hcy) levels in embryo culture media for estimating better invitro fertilization outcomes in endometriosis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nineteen women with endometriosis wh…
Adenomyosis is described as the benign invasion of endometrium into the myometrium, with endometrial glands and stroma surrounded by the hypertrophic and hyperplastic myometrium. It may affect 20% of female population and most widely seen a…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Laparoscopy is widely used during infertility work-up, although it is sometimes unnecessary. This review highlights when laparoscopic intervention should be used in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology cycles…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) on preimplantation embryos and to evaluate the levels of basic FGF in follicular and peritoneal fluid. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: University-based laborat…
The peritoneal environment in endometriosis is known to have growth-promoting effects on endometrial cells. To investigate whether follicular fluid, a contributor to the peritoneal fluid, stimulates endometrial cell proliferation, we incuba…
Proliferation of endometrium is dependent on sex steroid hormones, but specific growth factors are likely to play an important role in regulating this process. A number of cytokines and growth factors are synthesized in the endometrium in r…
We have previously shown that interleukin-8 (IL-8), a cytokine with neutrophil chemotactic/activating and T cell chemotactic activity, is produced by human endometrial stromal and glandular cells in culture. The present study investigated t…
PROBLEM: Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is produced mainly by monocytes/macrophages, and it induces proliferation and cytotoxicity of T-cells and natural killer cells. In women with endometriosis, natural killer cell activity in the peritoneal flui…
Abdomino-pelvic adhesions arise from infection, endometriosis, or peritoneal injury during surgery, and represent a significant source of morbidity in women of reproductive age. Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) plays a role in the che…
