Abstract

Expression of mRNA encoding for VEGF (A), KDR (C) and MMP-9 (D) assayed using RT-PCR. VEGF concentrations (B) were measured suing ELISA immunoassays in control endometriosis lesions and lesions treated with açaí. The levels of VEGF and MMP-9 mRNA transcripts and VEGF concentrations in the treated endometriotic lesions were significantly lower than the levels in the control lesions.
