Does secretion of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 by human uterine epithelium direct monocyte migration in culture?
These findings suggest that biologically active MCP-1 is secreted into both the uterine lumen as well as the underlying stroma and that it mediates the presence of monocytes, macrophages, and other immune cells in the uterine endometrium.
ALT was inversely related to adiponectin levels, independent of the metabolic factors and HBV status. Whether there is any potential prognostic and therapeutic value of adiponectin in human liver diseases remains to be investigated.
