Figure 1 Expression of VEGF-A in the endometrium, from (A) a woman with an elevated P level, and (B) a woman with a normal P level. Expression of VEGF-C in the endometrium from (C) a woman with an elevated P level, and (D) a woman with a normal P level. Expression of PLGF in the endometrium from (E) a woman with an elevated P level, and (F) a woman with a normal P level. (G) Negative control. Magnification = ×400. Scale bar = 50 μm. GE = glandular epithelium; LE = luminal epithelium; P = progesterone; PLGF = placental growth factor; SC = stromal cell; VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor.
