Importance of reactive oxygen species in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis or idiopathic infertility.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To determine whether reactive oxygen species in peritoneal fluid might be a factor in infertility. DESIGN:Prospective study. SETTING:Andrology laboratory and gynecology clinic at a tertiary care facility. PATIENT(S):Women with endometriosis (n = 15) or idiopathic infertility (n = 11) who underwent laparoscopy for infertility. Patients undergoing tubal ligation served as controls (n = 13). INTERVENTION(S):Aspiration of peritoneal fluid. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Reactive oxygen species levels, presence of polymorphonuclear granulocytes, and leukocyte distribution in peritoneal fluid. RESULT(S):Reactive oxygen species were present in the peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis, idiopathic infertility, and tubal ligation. Levels of reactive oxygen species did not show a statistically significant difference between patients with endometriosis and the control group in either unprocessed or processed (cell-free) peritoneal fluid, but did differ significantly between patients with idiopathic infertility and controls in processed peritoneal fluid. Polymorphonuclear granulocytes (> 1 x 10(6)/mL) were not present in the peritoneal fluid of any patient. Macrophage concentrations of peritoneal fluid did not differ significantly between controls and patients with endometriosis or idiopathic infertility. CONCLUSION(S):Reactive oxygen species in the peritoneal fluid may not affect fertility directly in women with endometriosis; however, they may have a role in patients with idiopathic infertility.
