BACKGROUND: In endometriosis, angiogenesis is a crucial step for implantation of the exfoliates. A priori potential to induce angiogenesis by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression was compared in eutopic endometrium of patien…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of angiopoietin 1 and 2 (ANGPT1/ANGPT2) in angiogenesis of the ectopic endometrium as a crucial step in the development of an endometriotic lesion, we analyzed their expression patterns in an experimental …
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the expression of angiopoietin 1 (ANGPT1) in pigmented and nonpigmented endometriosis implants and specify its role in the interaction of angiogenic factors. DESIGN: Experimental retrospective study. SETTING: Univers…
The pathogenesis of endometriosis is dependent on implantation. Therefore, angiogenesis of the ectopic endometrium is discussed as a crucial step in the development of an endometriotic lesion. It is not only the main condition for implantat…
