Protective Effect of Vitamin E in an Animal Model of LPS‐Induced Inflammation

Problem:  Many sterility outcomes may be associated to the presence of an inflammatory response that would lead to an inability of the endometrium to support implantation and maintain viable embryos. We have established an animal model of inflammation in which the systemic administration of lipopolysaccharyde (LPS) results in a low embryo implantation rate. The purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of the inflammatory agent LPS on embryo viability and to verify the ability of vitamin E to modulate the inflammatory effect of LPS on embryo viability.
