Project Details

Outline of Final Research Achievements

As Ach is known to be a transmitter of parasympathetic nerves, we hypothesized that in endometriosis patients, sympathetic nerves could be activated compared to parasympathetic nerves. We evaluated the condition of sympathetic/parasympathetic nerves in patients, and found the trend that serum concentration of noradrenaline, and the trait anxiety is higher in endometriosis patients rather than in non-endometriosis patients.
