BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent disease marked by ectopic endometrial growth. Although the PI3K/AKT and kisspeptin pathways are known to regulate endometrial homeostasis, their interplay in disease progression remai…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a benign condition driven by estrogen and inflammation in which endometrial-like tissue develops in ectopic locations. We aimed to determine whether non-steroidal agents acting on the WNT/beta-catenin signaling a…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of metformin and ganirelix on subcutaneous endometriotic tissues created in an experimental mouse model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five groups were formed with eight animals in each grou…

Objective: Endometriosis is a gynecological disease associated with chronic pelvic inflammation, pain, and infertility. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a protein that can bind to β-galactosides, which plays an important role in different biological p…

Objectives: Since we assumed that endometriosis is a benign cell division disorder, our study was conducted to investigate the effects of the relationships between polyamine synthesis and angiogenesis in the formation of endometriosis. Mate…

Trastuzumab and lapatinib are drugs belonging to tyrosine kinase inhibitors family that are used in cancer treatment to prevent cell proliferation. Trastuzumab is an inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptor–2 (HER2) tyrosine kina…

OBJECTIVE/AIM: Endometrisosis, one of the most common gynecological disease, is characterized by the presence of endometriotic tissue outside of uterine cavity. The development and the validation of a simple blood biomarker specific and sen…

ObjectiveEndometriosis is defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma grow in areas outside the uterus. A simple blood test for endometriosis-specific biomarkers would offer a more timely accurate diagnosis of the disease and c…

In patients with endometriosis, ectopic endometrial tissues can escape from immune system control and survive in other tissues. The pathophysiology of endometriosis is still not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to clarify the patho…

Study objectiveTo evaluate serum values of cluster of differentiation 95 (CD95/FAS), hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α), and tyrosine kinase receptor 2 (Tie-2) as possible biomarkers of disease presence and severity in women with end…

We aimed to compare the effects of pazopanib, sunitinib, and sorafenib on endometriotic tissue morphology and histological characteristics as well as ovarian reserve in a rat model. Experimental endometriosis was established in 32 rats. The…
