Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the prevalence and increase in the incidence of endometriosis, especially in young patients, its influence on reproductive function, and the lack of reliable non-invasive diagnosis of the disease and its stages. There are no unified views on the etiology and multifactorial pathogenesis of this disease. This article is aimed at revealing the mechanisms of the formation of endometriosis stages basing on the study of the effect of cytokines production, nitric oxide metabolites and lipid metabolism. The main approach to study this problem is both to investigate systemic (blood serum) and local (peritoneal fluid) levels, their comparison. This allows comprehensive consideration of the pathogenesis of the disease and determination of the value of the mentioned biologically active factors depending on the stages of the disease. The article presents new data on the content of high- and low-density lipoproteins, cholesterol, transforming growth factor β1 and tumor necrosis factor α, the content of nitric oxide metabolites and their clinical interpretation is given according to the stages of the disease. The materials of the article are of practical value for researchers of endometriosis and practicing obstetrician-gynecologists.. Keywords: external genital endometriosis, lipoproteins, nitric oxide, transforming growth factor.
