Serum and Peritoneal Fluid Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Women with Endometriosis

BACKGROUND Endometriosis is known as one of the most common disease in women of reproductive age. Due to important role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in neo-vascularization for the implantation of endometrial cell, and also presence of different studies reported VEGF level in the serum and peritoneal fluid (PF) in endometriosis patients, this study was designed to determine the s...

Methodological Concerns Regarding Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in Serum of Women with Endometriosis

s:865:"We read with interest the manuscript entitled "Serum and peritoneal fluid levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in women with endometriosis" recently published in the International Journal of Fertility and Sterility (1). The authors measured the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in serum and peritoneal fluid of 179 women, 90 of whom were diagnosed with endometriosis, an...

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentrations are elevated in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis.

Active endometriosis is characterized by hypervascularization both within and surrounding the implant; therefore the presence of angiogenic factors in the peritoneal environment would be of great importance. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic factor involved in both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. We sought to determine if VEGF was present in the perit...

The Association Analysis of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor -2549 Insertion/Deletion Variant and Endometriosis Risk

Endometriosis is a debilitating disorder, defined as the presence of endometrial gland and stroma outside of the uterus. It may affect angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the angiogenic factors that plays an important role in both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. The present study aimed to evaluate the association of VEGF -2549 insertion/deletion (I/...
