Effect of menstruation and intrapelvic injection of endometrium on inflammatory parameters of peritoneal fluid in the baboon (Papio anubis and Papio cynocephalus)
Article Abstract:
Injecting endometrium into the abdomen of baboons caused an increase in the amount of inflammatory substances in the pelvic cavity. This confirms that the backward flow of blood during menstruation may cause endometriosis.

Intrapelvic injection of menstrual endometrium causes endometriosis in baboons (Papio cynocephalus and Papio anubis)
Article Abstract:
The injection of menstrual endometrium into female baboons can cause peritoneal endometriosis lending support to the Sampson hypothesis. Sampson believed that reverse-flowing menstrual bleeding causes endometrium to settle in the pelvis. Peritoneal endometriosis is an abnormal tissue deposit of the uterus lining, the endometrium, in the pelvic area. Researchers injected 11 female baboons with menstrual endometrium and 6 baboons with non-menstrual endometrium. All 11 animals developed endometriosis after menstrual endometrium injections, whereas only three of six baboons with non-menstrual endometrium showed such a response. Follow-up laparoscopy at five months and 12 months indicated no change in the pelvic lesions following non-menstrual endometrium injection. In contrast, all but one animals with menstrual endometrium injection had progressively more lesions over time.
