Etiology of infertility in monkeys with endometriosis: luteinized unruptured follicles, luteal phase defects, pelvic adhesions, and spontaneous abortions
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)47552-7

To elucidate the etiology of infertility due to endometriosis, we autografted endometrial or adipose tissue to the pelvic peritoneum of 21 cynomolgus monkeys. These primates were divided into five groups: control animals with adipose tissue…

Etiology of infertility in monkeys with endometriosis: Measurement of peritoneal fluid prostaglandins
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/s0002-9378(84)80136-2

To study the relationship between peritoneal fluid prostaglandins and infertility associated with endometriosis, we autografted endometrial or adipose tissue to the pelvic peritoneum in 21 monkeys. Peritoneal washings were collected prior t…
