Serum from infertile patients with endometriosis was found to be toxic to mouse embryo development, unlike serum from fertile patients with the disease.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of serum from infertile and fertile patients with endometriosis on the development of 2-cell mouse embryos. PATIENTS: Serum was obtained from 26 infertile patients and 8 fertile patients with endometriosis. Mouse embryo development in serum samples was compared using chi 2 analysis. RESULTS: In the infertile group 23% of the embryos reached blastocyst stage, whereas 22 of the 26 samples were embryo toxic. In the fertile group significantly more embryos (45%) developed to blastocysts and only one serum samples was embryo toxic. CONCLUSION: The embryo toxicity of serum samples from patients with endometriosis is related to the infertility associated with the disease and not with the disease per se.
