Search for: [Abstract = "ssion of DFF45 was decreased compared to the eutopic endometrium in proliferative and secretory phase of menstrual cycle and the difference was statistically significant. DFF45 expression was significantly higher in normal ovarian tissue compared to ovarian endometriosis. The increased DFF45 expression was detected in the 2nd phase of menstrual cycle subsequently in endometrium and in normal ovarian tissue. No changes in DFF expression according to menstrual cycle were observed in ovarian endometriomas. Negative correlation between expression of DFF45 and stage of endometriosis \(according to RCE\) was confirmed. As DFF45 expression is correlated with DFF40 activity during apoptosis, decrease in DFF45 amount can be a significant factor of ectopic endometrial cells resistance to apoptosis."]
