OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between the follicular fluid (FF) reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and ROS-TAC score and pregnancy after intracytoplasmic sperm injec…

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is considered a major indicator of the acute-phase inflammatory response. Endometriosis and pelvic inflammation, diseases that manifest elevated levels of IL-6, are commonly associated with higher infertility. However, …

Oxidative stress is associated with many disease states including gynecologic disease. This process can damage lipids, proteins and DNA. The present study highlights the role of oxidative stress induced DNA damage as measured by 8-hydroxy-2…

ABSTRACT Objective The purpose of this study was to analyze the line of treatment and its outcome in cases of endometriosis presenting with infertility and pelvic pain at a tertiary center having facilities of operative endoscopy and assist…

ObjectiveTo study the effect of peritoneal fluid (PF) from healthy women and from women with endometriosis on sperm DNA and its relationship to sperm morphology as assessed by the sperm deformity index (SDI).DesignExperimental study.Setting…

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of L-carnitine (LC) against deleterious substances present in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of patients with endometriosis, which may affect the oocyte cytoskeleton and embryogenesis.DesignExperimen…

The objective of this study was to investigate the role of cytokines in the peri-ovulatory follicular fluid (FF) during IVF cycles. FF from 112 women was obtained during oocyte retrieval for IVF. The concentrations of five cytokines [interl…

Peritoneal fl uid cytokines are important for initiation and progression of endometriosis. The objective of this study was to compare a group of fi ve cytokines (interleukins IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-13 and tumour necrosis factor α; TNFα) in p…
