“…Data on interleukins are inconsistent. Serum levels of interleukin 6, 8 and tumor necrosis factor-α were described to be increased in patients with ectopic pregnancy [56], but some studies also showed decreased interleukin-8 levels [57]. Contradictory to our data is the finding of an increased ratio of TNF-α and IL-10 on infertile compared to fertile patients [61].…”

“…Data published so far showed no unequivocal impact of omega-3-fatty acid supplementation on sIL-2R serum levels, some studies describe no influence [52][53], others a decrease of serum levels [54][55]. The level of sIL-2R could not be correlated with the risk of ectopic pregnancies [56][57]. But increased levels were recognized as negative prognostic criteria for the success of IVF-treatments [58].…”

“…When taking into consideration that IL-8 has also been detected in unstimulated cycles [38], the involvement of this chemokine in the natural process of folliculogenesis and ovulation can be assumed [42]. Moreover, a recent study showed that lower serum levels of IL-8 correlated with a higher risk for extrauterine pregnancy [43]. Thus, our finding of higher follicular fluid IL-8 in cases of normal intrauterine pregnancy seems sensible.…”

“…On the other hand, unbalanced inflammation during early stages of gestation may lead to negative consequences. IL-10 appears to be the most powerful immunosuppressive factor produced locally in gestational tissues [18,19]. Studies on human decidua and endometrium have shown negative effect of IL-10 deficit on pregnancy maintenance [20].…”
