Mouse embryo toxicity of IL-6 in peritoneal fluids from women with or without endometriosis
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica ·doi:10.1034/j.1600-0412.2001.800102.x

BACKGROUND: To determine whether there is a factor (or factors) in the peritoneal fluid of endometriosis patients that impairs embryo growth and embryo implantation. METHODS: Growth and development of two-cell mouse embryos which were cult…

article 2000
Increase in the expression of killer cell inhibitory receptors on peritoneal natural killer cells in women with endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(00)01592-2
article 1999
Increase in the Production of Interleukin‐6, Interleukin‐10, and Interleukin‐12 by Lipopolysaccharide‐Stimulated Peritoneal Macrophages from Women with Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1999.tb00082.x

PROBLEM: To verify whether the peritoneal macrophage (PM) is activated in endometriosis. METHOD OF STUDY: We examined the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), total antioxidant, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and IL-12 by cultured PMs, which were ei…

article 1997
Effect of Peritoneal Fluid on Sperm Motility Parameters in Women with Endometriosis
Archives of andrology ·doi:10.3109/01485019708988531

To clarify the effect of peritoneal fluids (PF) of women with various stages of endometriosis on sperm motility, we utilized computer-aides sperm analysis (CASA) to analyze sperm movement characteristics. PF was collected in the early folli…

article 1997
Peritoneal interleukin-10 increases with decrease in activated CD4+ T lymphocytes in women with endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/12.11.2528

This study was performed to determine whether peritoneal T cells are suppressed in the CD4+ or CD8+ T cell subpopulation and whether they are Th1 or Th2 predominant in women with endometriosis. Immune cells in the peritoneal fluid (PF) were…

article 1997
Total antioxidant status and nitric oxide do not increase in peritoneal fluids from women with endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/12.12.2810

To explore the role of nitric oxide (NO) and oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of adhesion formation and in endometriosis-associated infertility, we examined the peritoneal total antioxidant status (TAS) and the concentrations of product…

article 1996
Decrease in interferon gamma production and impairment of T-lymphocyte proliferation in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/s0002-9378(96)70034-0
other 1996
The suppression of peritoneal cellular immunity in women with endometriosis could be restored after gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist treatment
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1996.tb00050.x

PROBLEM: Our previous study reported that peritoneal natural killer (NK) cytotoxicity and CD3+CD25+ lymphocyte subpopulation were suppressed in women with advanced endometriosis. Whether these phenomena are general for all stages of endomet…

article 1995
Peritoneal natural killer cytotoxicity and CD25+CD3+ lymphocyte subpopulation are decreased in women with stage III–IV endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.humrep.a135765

We examined the lymphocytes of peripheral blood (PB) and peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with or without endometriosis to investigate the alteration of cytotoxic activity of natural killer (NK) cells and activation of T cells in the peritone…
