Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine, associated with various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Elevated TNF-alpha levels in peritoneal fluid have been reported in women with endometriosis, suggesting that TNF-alpha may be involved in the development of endometriosis. In this study, we investigated the possible association between endometriosis and...
