Abstract
In order to evaluate the changes of lipid perioxides (LPO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in peritoneal fluid in patients with endometriosis, the levels of LPO and SOD in peritoneal fluids from infertile women with endometriosis and with normal pelvis were measured. The result showed that the levels of LPO but SOD was elevated significantly in peritoneal fluid from women with endometriosis than in women with normal pelvis (P < 0.01). It is suggested that free oxygen radicals may be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis associated infertility.Entities:
