Peritoneal fluid concentrations of interleukin-8 in patients with endometriosis depend on the severity of the disorder and are higher in the luteal phase
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deg122

BACKGROUND: Previous evaluations of the relationship between the concentrations of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the peritoneal fluid and endometriosis led to non-consistent results. Our purpose was to investigate the correlation of the concentra…

Tumour necrosis factor α concentrations in the peritoneal fluid of infertile women with minimal or mild endometriosis are lower in patients with red lesions only than in patients without red lesions
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/15.6.1256

Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) of peritoneal fluid is believed to have important pro-inflammatory and angiogenic activities in the complex mechanisms of development of peritoneal endometriotic lesions. We have evaluated the concent…
