  • Title: Histopathologic effects of dimethyl sulfoxide on equine endometrium.
    Author: Frazer GS, Rossol TJ, Threlfall WR, Weisbrode SE.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1988 Oct; 49(10):1774-81. PubMed ID: 3189996.
    Abstract:
    Endometrial fibrosis is a major cause of infertility in broodmares. Because of the proven anti-inflammatory effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and its influence on collagen, the effect of DMSO on the endometrium was investigated in mares. Solutions of DMSO (25%, 50%, or 75%) were infused into the uterus of clinically normal mares. Examination of serially obtained biopsy specimens revealed epithelial ulceration and stromal inflammation that were proportional to the DMSO concentration infused, but vasodilatation was not observed. In all mares, the endometrium had returned to normal by day 21 after DMSO infusion.
