- Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterus grows outside it, and this study looks at immune molecules and their connection to infertility in women with endometriosis.
- Researchers compared 87 infertile women, finding higher levels of PRF1 and MICA in those with endometriosis, especially in more severe cases.
- The study suggests that these molecules could serve as potential biomarkers for endometriosis severity and advocates for further research on their therapeutic implications.
Objective: To investigate the association between soluble adhesion molecules (sE-cadherin, sE-selectin, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1) in serum and peritoneal fluid and pelvic pain in infertile women with endometriosis.
Methods: This observational study included 86 infertile women undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy, 43 of whom were diagnosed with endometriosis. Pain intensity was evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS).
