The origin of estrogens, progesterone, androgens and sex hormone binding globulin in peritoneal fluid in the immediate postovulatory period in normal ovulating women
Abstract
In 20 women with proven fertility, one menstrual cycle was monitored by ovarian ultrasonography, laparoscopy and estimation of 17 beta-estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), progesterone, testosterone, androstenedione (Adion), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) in serum and peritoneal fluid. Three groups were studied, in which the peritoneal fluid was collected within 1, 3 and 5 days after ovulation. E1, E2 and progesterone levels in peritoneal fluid were highest shortly after ovulation and decreased with time. Testosterone and Adion in peritoneal fluid showed no changes, but peritoneal fluid levels were always higher than serum levels. No differences were found between the peritoneal fluid and serum levels of DHEA and DHEAS. SHBG in serum was always higher than in peritoneal fluid. The results are compared with reported steroid levels in follicular fluid from the literature and factors complicating the interpretation of steroid levels in peritoneal fluid are discussed.

At ovulation, cytokine- and hormone-rich fluid is released into the peritoneal cavity, with levels of hormones and other factors significantly higher than in plasma.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
