Abstract：
:Peritoneal fluid obtained at laparoscopy from 49 women was measured for its content of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha), 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-KF), and thromboxane B2 (TxB2) by specific radioimmunoassays. In normal women (n = 10), the concentrations of prostaglandins in peritoneal fluid were (mean +/- SE): PGE2 = 0.79 +/- 0.26, PGF2 alpha = 0.60 +/- 0.18, 6-KF = 0.48 +/- 0.19, and TxB2 = 0.23 +/- 0.09 ng/ml; in women with endometriosis (n = 16): PGE2 = 1.43 +/- 0.72, PGF2 alpha = 1.52 +/- 0.59, 6-KF = 3.32 +/- 0.71, and TxB2 = 1.14 +/- 0.69 ng/ml; in women with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and/or obstructed tubes (n = 19): PGE2 = 1.94 +/- 1.04, PGF2 alpha = 1.20 +/- 0.61, 6-KF = 1.55 +/- 0.40, and TxB2 = 0.64 +/- 0.24 ng/ml; in women with pelvic pain without any visible pathologic condition (n = 4): PGE2 = 1.11 +/- 0.66, PGF2 alpha = 0.73 +/- 0.55, 6-KF = 1.35 +/- 0.35, and TxB2 = 0.39 +/- 0.17. The mean volumes of peritoneal fluid recovered were 10 to 16 ml and were not significantly different between the groups. Except for a significantly elevated concentration of 6-KF in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis compared to normal women (p = less than 0.02), the prostaglandins measured did not differ significantly between the groups of women studied. The possible significance of elevated 6-KF in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis is discussed.
