Logistic Regression Models Based on Plasma Levels of Phosphatidylcholines, Amino Acids, and TGFBI Differentiate Patients with Peritoneal Endometriosis from Control Patients
·doi:10.2139/ssrn.6872759
article 2018
Models Including Serum CA-125, BMI, Cyst Pathology, Dysmenorrhea or Dyspareunia for Diagnosis of Endometriosis
Biomarkers in medicine ·doi:10.2217/bmm-2017-0426

AIM: To evaluate preoperative levels of CA-125 and HE4 in patients with endometriosis-like symptoms and to construct diagnostic models. PATIENTS: Prospective case-control study included 124 endometriosis patients and 97 control patients. MA…

Altered levels of acylcarnitines, phosphatidylcholines, and sphingomyelins in peritoneal fluid from ovarian endometriosis patients
The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology ·doi:10.1016/j.jsbmb.2016.02.023

Endometriosis is a complex, polygenic, and estrogen-dependent disease that affects 6% to 10% of women of reproductive age, and 30% to 50% of women with infertility and/or pelvic pain. Surgical diagnosis of endometriosis is still the gold st…

article 2015
Panels of Cytokines and Other Secretory Proteins as Potential Biomarkers of Ovarian Endometriosis
The Journal of molecular diagnostics : JMD ·doi:10.1016/j.jmoldx.2015.01.006

Endometriosis is a gynecologic disease that is characterized by nonspecific symptoms and invasive diagnostics. To date, there is no adequate noninvasive method for the diagnosis of endometriosis. Although more than 100 potential biomarkers …

Elevated glycodelin-A concentrations in serum and peritoneal fluid of women with ovarian endometriosis
Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.3109/09513590.2013.769516

The aim of this study was to evaluate serum and peritoneal fluid (PF) glycodelin-A concentrations in women with ovarian endometriosis. Ninety-nine matched pairs of serum and PF samples were included in our study. The case group comprised 57…

article 2012
Discovery of phosphatidylcholines and sphingomyelins as biomarkers for ovarian endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/des152

BACKGROUND: Current non-invasive diagnostic methods for endometriosis lack sensitivity and specificity. In search for new diagnostic biomarkers for ovarian endometriosis, we used a hypothesis-generating targeted metabolomics approach. METHO…

article 2011
Aldo-keto reductases AKR1C1, AKR1C2 and AKR1C3 may enhance progesterone metabolism in ovarian endometriosis
Chemico-biological interactions ·doi:10.1016/j.cbi.2011.01.003

Endometriosis is a very common disease that is characterized by increased formation of estradiol and disturbed progesterone action. This latter is usually explained by a lack of progesterone receptor B (PR-B) expression, while the role of p…

article 2011
Novel estrogen-related genes and potential biomarkers of ovarian endometriosis identified by differential expression analysis
The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology ·doi:10.1016/j.jsbmb.2011.03.010

In the search for novel biomarkers of endometriosis, we selected 152 genes from the GeneLogic database based on results of genome-wide expression analysis of ovarian endometriosis, plus 20 genes related to estrogen metabolism and action. We…
