Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrium outside the uterus, is one of the most frequent benign gynaecological diseases. It has been suggested that both endometrial and peritoneal factors, related to angiogenesis and proteolysis, can be implicated in this disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of peritoneal fluid on the expression of angiogenic and proteolytic factors in cultures of endometrial cells from women with and without endometriosis.
