OBJECTIVE: To quantify and compare messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of ER-alpha and ER-beta among ovarian endometriotic cysts and red and black peritoneal endometriotic lesions. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the expression of estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha and ER-beta messenger RNA (mRNA) in ovarian endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): Patients with endometriosis and patient…
OBJECTIVE: To quantify messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of the two estrogen receptor isoforms, estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) and estrogen receptor-beta (ER-beta) in the eutopic endometrium and ovarian endometriotic cysts. DESIGN: Prospecti…
Ascitic fluid was obtained from a patient with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma. The cells obtained from the fluid were cultured in Eagle's minimum essential medium containing 15% fetal calf serum at 37 degrees C under humidified 5% CO2 and 9…
