Angiogenic activity of peritoneal fluid from women with endometriosis
Open accessAbstract
Objective To investigate the presence of angiogenic factors in peritoneal fluid (PF) and follicular fluid (FF).Design The PF samples of 48 women with (n = 24) or without (n = 24) endometriosis were investigated. Angiogenesis was assayed using the chorioallantoic membrane of 11-day-old fertilized chicken embryos. Glass fiber prefilters impregnated with the fluids were placed on the chorioallantoic membrane.Main outcome measure The vascular reaction was analyzed by an independent observer after 72 hours.Results There was a positive reaction in 58.3% of the PF from women with endometriosis and in 12.5% of the women without endometriosis. No correlation was found between the angiogenic response and the severity of endometriosis. The reaction remained after charcoal treatment of the PF. Positive reaction was found in three of six FF samples.Conclusion The PF of women with endometriosis contain more angiogenic factors than PF from women without endometriosis. This angiogenic activity could be important for the further outgrowth and progression of the lesions.

“Pelvic endometriosis is associated with a low-grade inflammation of the peritoneal cavity with higher concentrations of activated macrophages and thus with higher concentrations of the many different cytokines (68-72) and angiogenic factors (73)(74)(75)(76)(77)(78)(79)(80)(81)(82)(83)(84)(85)(86)(87)(88)(89)(90)(91).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
