Endometriosis and assisted reproduction techniques
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2010.05656.x

Endometriosis-associated infertility is poorly treatable with various forms of surgery. Therefore, assisted reproduction techniques (ARTs), such as controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, intrauterine insemination, or in vitro fertilization, a…

Evidence of interplay between plasma endothelin-1 and 17β-estradiol in regulation of uterine blood flow and endometrial growth in infertile women

Prostaglandin Synthesis Inhibitors in Menorrhagia, Intrauterine Contraceptive Device‐Induced Side Effects and Endometriosis
Pharmacology & toxicology ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0773.1994.tb02007.x

Primary menorrhagia, IUD side effects and endometriotic symptoms may be a result of excessive PG release in the reproductive organs. These conditions and symptoms can be prevented or markedly alleviated by a PG synthesis inhibitor, such as …

Nafarelin for endometriosis: A large-scale, danazol-controlled trial of efficacy and safety, with 1-year follow-up
·doi:10.1016/0020-7292(92)90702-k
article 1990
Evidence of similar increases in bone turnover during nafarelin and danazol use in women with endometriosis
Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.3109/09513599009024979

Medical 'oophorectomy' by GnRH agonist or danazol is an effective treatment for endometriosis. Since increased bone loss is a potential risk of hypoestrogenism, we compared the effect of nafarelin and danazol treatment on bone metabolism. T…

Primary and myoma‐associated menorrhagia: role of prostaglandins and effects of ibuprofen
·doi:10.1111/j.1471-0528.1986.tb08019.x

The release of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha(6-keto-PGF1 alpha), a metabolite of prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane B2 (TxB2), a metabolite of thromboxane A2 (TxA2), was estimated in endometrial biopsies taken from 12 menorrhagic and 12 he…

Follicular fluid prostaglandins in endometriosis and ovarian hyperstimulation
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)47543-6
article 1983
Prostaglandins and Endometriosis
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica. Supplement ·doi:10.3109/00016348309155209

To study the production of prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 (TxA2) in endometriosis in vitro, samples of endometriotic tissue taken during operation from 6 women were superfused for 4.5 hours in 95% O2/5% CO2 at 37 degrees C, and the …

article 1979
PITUITARY GONADOTROPHINS AND PROLACTIN IN PATIENTS WITH ENDOMETRIAL CANCER, FIBROIDS OR OVARIAN TUMOURS
·doi:10.1111/j.1471-0528.1979.tb10721.x

The serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and, prolactin (PRL) were measured before and after gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) and thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation in 17 patients …
