Abstract:

This review discusses the experimental models of endometriosis. The general idea about available approaches to the modeling of this disease in different animal species, namely primates, rodents, transgenic animals, as well as on the chorioallantoic membrane of the chicken embryo is presented. Main implementations of the experimental models are suggested. Among those are pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease, the development of new non-invasive diagnostic methods, and a search for new approaches to the treatment of endometriosis. The benefits and limitations of each model implementation are analized.

Keywords:

endometriosis
animal models of endometriosis
pathophysiological mechanisms of endometriosis
diagnosis and therapy of endometriosis
chicken chorioallantois membrane
rodent models
primate models
homologous and heterologous models of endometriosis
