Case description

Resveratrol, a naturally synthesized polyphenolic compound found in some fruits, has anti neoplastic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-angiogenic properties. Angiogenesis is an important process in endometriosis which provides blood supply for implantation, proliferation and survival of endometriotic lesions. In this study, we assessed the effects of resveratrol on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) expression in the eutopic endometrium of infertile patients with endometriosis within the window of implantation as a randomized exploratory trial. Subjects, who confirmed their endometriosis (stage III–IV) by a pathologist after laparoscopic surgery, were recruited to the present trial. A total of 34 patients were randomly divided into treatment (n = 17) and control (n = 17) groups, beside the routine protocol for treatment of endometriosis, they received resveratrol.
