Characterization and identification of cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid released by human peritoneal macrophages obtained from the pouch of Douglas
doi:10.1054/plef.2002.0449 ·PMID:12468260

Cytochrome P450 metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) was investigated in human peritoneal macrophages which play a central role in chronic pelvic diseases in women (for example in endometriosis). The formation of eicosanoids other than prost…

Correlation between dysmenorrheic severity and prostaglandin production in women with endometriosis
doi:10.1016/0952-3278(92)90219-9 ·PMID:1502250

The role of prostaglandins (PGs) in dysmenorrhea of endometriosis is poorly understood. The relationship between dysmenorrheic severity and prostaglandin production was investigated in endometriosis. Slices of normal myometrium, adenomyosis…

Prostaglandin and leukotriene concentration of the peritoneal fluid of endometriosis and other gynecologic disorders in the secretory phase
doi:10.1016/0952-3278(90)90170-p ·PMID:2160084

In order to investigate whether prostanoids are involved in the pathophysiology of endometriosis, prostaglandin and leukotriene concentrations in peritoneal fluid were measured in adenomyosis, ovarian chocolate cyst and uterine leiomyoma. I…
