ABSTRACT: Objective: To determine the concentration of haptoglobin (Hp) in peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with and without endometriosis and its correlation with the phase of the menstrual cycle. The expression of Hpβe (determined by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) was correlated to total PF Hp concentration. Materials and...

Objective. Endometriosis has a wide range of severity but molecular factors associated with variable extension of the disease have not been widely investigated. The present study compares the peritoneal fluid (PF) proteome of 109 women with endometriosis and different disease stage as defined by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the peritoneal fluid (PF) proteome of fertile and infertile women with endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: PF samples were collected at laparoscopy from 26 fertile women and 26 infertile ones. Samples were subjected to 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and compared by computerized analysis. Protein spots were identified by...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the changes in the peritoneal fluid proteome of women with endometriosis determined by the administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRH-a). STUDY DESIGN: Peritoneal fluid samples were collected during laparoscopy from patients under GnRH-a and from women who did not receive any type of hormonal...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the peritoneal fluid (PF) proteome of women with and without uterine leiomyomas. STUDY DESIGN: PF samples were collected at laparoscopy from 14 women with uterine leiomyomas and 14 patients without leiomyomas who underwent tubal sterilization. PF samples were subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, silver...

OBJECTIVE: Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis is a powerful method for identifying post-translationally modified molecules in biological fluids. We examined the presence and expression of vitamin D binding protein (DBP) in the peritoneal fluid (PF) and plasma (PL) of women with endometriosis. METHODS: PL and PF samples were obtained from 36...

This study aims to evaluate differences in the expression of proteins present in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with endometriosis and control subjects who underwent surgery for infertility or tubal sterilisation. PF samples were subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; protein spots of interest were identified by liquid...
