The pathogenesis of endometriosis has not been clearly explained. Inflammatory factors of ectopic implantation and the growth of ectopic endometrial cells have been subjects of major interest. The number of studies evaluating salusin-α and nesfatin-1 markers in patients with endometriosis is limited. No studies have evaluated the levels of anti-inflammatory markers for adropin and netrin-1 in patients with endometriosis. This study investigates how some important inflammatory regulatory markers in the inflammatory process affect the pathogenesis of endometriosis and determines whether any relationship exists between serum levels of these parameters and endometriosis and insulin resistance.
