Abstract
The existence of a motility-inhibiting substance in human peritoneal f luid (hPF) has been demonstrated. The results of this study indicate t hat this factor from hPF is a heat-resistant, volatile molecule with a very small molecular mass (e.g., halothane, which is used for general anesthesia in laparoscopic GIFT). This may be the reason for the conf licting results concerning pregnancy rates in gamete intrafallopian tr ansfer.
