MARKERS OF ANTIOXIDANT PROTECTION SYSTEM IN DIAGNOSTICS OF EXTERNAL GENITAL ENDOMETRIOSIS IN INFERTILITY FEMALE PATIENTS

Abstract

To identify markers of the antioxidant defense, 43 female patients with the infertility associated with external genital endometriosis were examined. The control group consisted of 19 healthy fertile women. In endometriosis patients, a statistically significant (p < 0.01) plasma level of coenzyme Q10 and α-tocopherol, determined by means of high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection, were noted to be lower in the comparison with the control group. On the basis of the data obtained, there was developed a prognostic scale that allows verifying the presence and severity of external genital endometriosis in infertility female patients.
