[HTML][HTML] Peritoneal fluid macrophages in endometriosis: correlation between the expression of estrogen receptors and inflammation
P Montagna, S Capellino, B Villaggio, V Remorgida… - Fertility and sterility, 2008 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of estrogen receptors (ERs) and inflammatory
cytokines in macrophages obtained from peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with endometriosis.
DESIGN: Comparative immunocytochemical study. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT
(S): Thirty women with endometriosis and 22 controls. INTERVENTION (S): The PF samples
were collected at laparoscopy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE (S): The expression of ERα,
ERβ, differentiation markers (CD68, NCL-MACRO, HAM56), and inflammatory cytokines …
