Regarding the intracellular markers of the metabolic mTOR pathway, we found that the intracellular levels of mTOR and AKT in macrophages (CD14+) isolated from the ascitic fluid were significantly higher in endometriosis than in papillary serous ovarian cancer (p = 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively). The gene discussed is CD14; the disease is endometriosis.
