Pituitary desensitization following infusion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is measurable if bioactivity instead of immunoreactivity is considered. We hypothesized that GnRH agonist therapy induces the same kind of desensitization…
It has been shown that rat and human endometria have the capacity to produce complement component 3 (C3). In rats, endometrial C3 is an oestrogen-dependent protein produced and secreted by glandular cells. The cell responsible for the synth…
At each menstrual cycle, the uterine endometrium undergoes intense remodelling. Of the many factors implicated in tissue remodelling, the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a central role owing to their capacity to degrade the extracellu…
CA 125, a marker of ovarian cancer, is also increased in otherwise normal women suffering from, for example, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis and adenomyosis. The tissues suspected of producing CA 125 in normal women include the e…
Plasma levels of CA 125 were determined in 113 patients with ovarian cancer of epithelial origin. Of these, 69 patients had CA 125 measured before the first laparotomy and 84.6% of them had a CA 125 level greater than 35 U/ml. In 87 of the …
Cancer antigen 125 (CA125) is an antigenic determinant defined by a murine monoclonal antibody and is present on the surface of some ovarian tumours. Using an immunoradiometric assay CA125 immunoreactivity was found in amniotic fluid and de…
