Figure 1 (A) Expression of Indian hedgehog (IHH) in endometrium of women with endometriosis (patient) or healthy volunteers (normal) in the nuclei (Nuc) of the glandular (Gld) or stromal (Stroma) compartments. Except for the early secretory phase stroma, all secretory phase patient values were significantly different (∗) from the corresponding menstrual phase and tissue result in healthy volunteers. LP = late proliferative; ES = early secretory; MS = midsecretory; LS = late secretory. (B) Expression of IHH in endometrium of women with endometriosis (patient) or healthy volunteers (normal) in the cytoplasm (Cyto) of the glandular (Gld) or stromal (Stroma) compartments. All secretory phase patient values were significantly different (∗) from the corresponding menstrual phase and tissue result in healthy volunteers. ES = early secretory; MS = midsecretory; LS = late secretory. Fertility and Sterility 2011 95, 2738-2741.e3DOI: (10.1016/j.fertnstert.2011.05.018) Copyright © 2011 Terms and Conditions
Supplemental Figure 1 Representative results of Indian hedgehog staining by immunohistochemistry in endometrium of healthy volunteers (N) or women with endometriosis (P) in the late proliferative (LP), early secretory (ES), midsecretory (MS), or late secretory (LS) phase of the menstrual cycle. Brown staining indicates a positive result. Fertility and Sterility 2011 95, 2738-2741.e3DOI: (10.1016/j.fertnstert.2011.05.018) Copyright © 2011 Terms and Conditions
