Serum mannose-binding lectin concentrations are not different between women with and without endometriosis, indicating it is not involved in the disease's pathogenesis.

Abstract

The serum concentrations of mannose-binding lectin in patients with or without endometriosis do not differ. Mannose-binding lectin could be involved in the modulation of inflammatory responses, but it does not seem to take part in endometriosis pathogenesis.
