BACKGROUND: Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity has been associated with the risk of clinical cardiovascular events. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the activity of Lp-PLA2 presents a risk …

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to test if melatonin causes regression of endometriotic implants and whether it influences implant levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), ti…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy (etanercept) for treating endometriosis in the rat endometriosis model. STUDY DESIGN: A randomized, placebo-controlled, blinded study using rat endometriosis model.…

OBJECTIVE: Novel treatment strategies are needed in the treatment of endometriosis due to limited success rates with the currently available options. As inflammatory and immunological mechanisms have been shown to be involved in the mechani…

Endometriotic implants were induced surgically in female Wistar albino rats, which were randomly divided into three groups. The rats in group I (n=10) and group II (n=9) were given 2.5 mg/kg/day intraperitoneal and oral atorvastatin, respec…

OBJECTIVE: We sought to test if metformin could regress endometriotic explants in rats. STUDY DESIGN: After inducing endometriotic implants and randomization of female Wistar albino rats, they were given 25 and 50 mg/kg/day of oral metform…

The aim of the research was to reveal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) immunolocalization in endometrioma cysts and endometrial tissues. The study group (group1) included 15 patients laparoscopically operated on for endometrioma an…

The aim of this study was to investigate follicular fluid vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) concentrations in endometriosis, and their effect on the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injec…
