Cytokines are involved in almost every aspect of reproduction, and recent studies suggested a relationship between cytokines and male/female infertility. In the present study, the levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) were determined in the cervical mucus of fertile and infertile women.
