Comparison of level of apoptosis in the mid-secretory human endometrium.Design: Clinical-laboratory trial.Setting: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Medical Faculty, Palacký University, FacultyHospital, Olomouc, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Bata Hospital, Zlín.Methods: Samples of secretory endometrium were obtained from 14 women. The women includedin the study had the next criteria: a history of infertility of more than 12 months, regular menstrualcycles, age below 40 and FSH basal level range 5-9 IU/L. Sampling of tissue was performedafter confi rmed ovulation by LH surge and repeated ultrasound examinations. Patterns wereprocessed by routine methods and apoptosis was detected using TUNEL assay.Results: The level of apoptosis in the endometrial epithelial surface was signifi cantly higher onday +7 compared to day +5 after ovulation (P
