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.
