Composition of follicular fluid is also regarded to be linked to quality of oocytes, fertilization and quality of the embryo. The aim of this study was to investigate the concentration of IL-18 and IL18BP in follicular fluid (FF) in a homogeneous group of women with sterility caused by "tubal factor" subjected to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and the relation between concentrate of this cytokine and IVF outcome.
