1,25(OH)2D3 has anti-inflammatory and growth inhibitory effects. Our study explored the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment on the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and insulin-like growth fac…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that has been reported to be associated with immune system dysfunction. On the other hand, the effect of Vitamin D as an immune modulator and its relation with several autoimmune and inflammat…

BACKGROUND: To study the concentrations of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in peritoneal fluid (PF) and serum, and to evaluate their expressions by PF and …

Abstract To study the concentrations of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in peritoneal fluid (PF) and serum, and to evaluate their expressions by PF and per…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic, painful, and inflammatory disease characterized by extra-uterine growth of endometrial tissues. Increased angiogenesis and resistance to apoptosis have been suggested to be involved in pathogenesis an…

Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease affecting reproductive-aged women. Immunologic disturbance, as well as inflammation, have crucial roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In this study, we evaluated the effects of resveratrol tr…

PURPOSE: Vitamin D (Vit D), as an immunomodulator, has been hypothesized to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Thus, in this study, we evaluated whether there is an association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] a…

Resveratrol, a phytoalexin polyphenol, has antiproliferative, antiangiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The present study has assessed the effect of resveratrol treatment on the expression of insulin-like growth factor-…
