Fertil Steril. 2011 Jun 30;95(8):2477-80. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2011.02.019. Andreoli, Carolina Giordani| Genro, Vanessa Krebs| Souza, Carlos Augusto| Michelon, Tatiana| Bilibio, Joao Paolo| Scheffel, Camila| Cunha-Filho, Joao Sabino Programa de Pos-Graduacao em Ciencias Medicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil. In the present study, interleukin (IL)-10, IL-12, IL-17, and IL-23 levels were measured in serum and peritoneal fluid of women with minimal or mild endometriosis and compared with levels in controls without endometriosis. Higher IL-23 levels were encountered in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis, suggesting a possible role of this cytokine in these women's infertility.
