These results suggest that the eutopic endometrium from endometriosis patients is more angiogenic and prone to growth because of greater Ang-1 mRNA and protein expression and higher Ang-2 mRNA expression than the endometrium from women without endometriosis.

To investigate the role of angiopoietin 1 and 2 (ANGPT1/ANGPT2) in angiogenesis of the ectopic endometrium as a crucial step in the development of an endometriotic lesion, we analyzed their expression patterns in an experimental model of endometriosis.
