Glycosaminoglycan levels were higher in the follicular phase peritoneal fluid of infertile women with endometriosis compared to those without, although this difference was not statistically significant.

Abstract

The authors examined the glycosaminoglycan level in the peritoneal fluid of 54 infertile women with or without endometriosis. The peritoneal fluid was collected during a routine laparoscopic examination. Glycosaminoglycans were assayed in complexes with Alcian blue. There was a higher concentration of glycosaminoglycans in peritoneal fluid during the follicular phase of women with endometriosis. The authors did not prove a statistically significant difference between women with and without endometriosis.
