Increased levels of prostaglandin E2 and bcl-2 in peritoneal fluid and serum of patients with endometriosis
Patients with endometriosis exhibit significantly higher peritoneal fluid and serum levels of prostaglandin E2 and bcl-2 compared to controls, with concentrations increasing in association with advanced disease stages.

This study investigated the levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and bcl-2 protein in both peritoneal fluid and serum of patients with endometriosis compared to a control group. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, researchers analyzed samples from 36 endometriosis patients and 30 controls, finding significantly higher concentrations of both biomarkers in the endometriosis group. The results indicated that PGE2 and bcl-2 levels were elevated in more advanced stages of the disease and were consistently higher in peritoneal fluid than in serum. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically examining the role of PGE2 and bcl-2 in its pathogenesis and progression.
