Cytokine profile features in women with reproductive disorders exposed to excessive environmental contamination with hydroxybenzene

Excessive activity of cytokines, as well as their deficiency, promote a regulatory imbalance of immune system, which may cause persistent inflammation and, as a consequence, loss of pregnancy. The purpose of our work was to study the role of cytokine expression in the development of endometriosis in...
