This study compared polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations in visceral fat between women with endometriosis and those with idiopathic infertility to investigate the potential role of PAHs in endometriosis development.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

The health toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), present in air and food, generated during energy production and waste incineration, is well known. There is no data on the hypothetical role of PAHs in the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis. The aim was to compare PAHs concentrations in visceral fat in women with endometriosis and idiopathic infertility.
