The effects of ranibizumab on surgically induced endometriosis in a rat model: a preliminary study.

Objective: To examine the effect of ranibizumab on surgically induced endometriosis in rat models.

Study Design: Endometrial tissue was implanted onto the abdominal peritoneum of 20 rats that were randomized into 2 groups. The rats in group 1 (n = 9) were given 0.

Somatostatin analogs regress endometriotic implants in rats by decreasing implant levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and matrix metaloproteinase 9.

Objective: To examine the effect of somatostatin analogs on surgically induced endometriosis in rat models.

Study Design: Endometrial tissue was implanted onto the abdominal peritoneum of 26 rats that were randomized into 3 groups. The rats in group 1(n = 9) were subcutaneously administered with 0.
