Prokineticin 1 mRNA expression in the endometrium of healthy women and in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis Federica Tiberi, B.S., Anna Tropea, M.D., Rosanna Apa, M.D., Federica Romani, M.D., Antonio Lanzone, M.D., Riccardo Marana, M.D. Fertility and Sterility Volume 93, Issue 7, Pages 2145-2149 (May 2010) DOI: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2009.01.105 Copyright © 2010 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions
Figure 1 PROK 1 mRNA expression quantification obtained by real-time PCR in eutopic endometrial glands—positive for PROK1 mRNA expression—isolated from women affected (endometriosis, n = 4, mean = 0.068) or not (control, n = 9, mean = 0.935) by endometriosis according to the comparative cycle time (Ct) method. The columns represent the mean ± SD of 2–ΔΔCt calculus for PROK1 in the two groups obtained by using GAPDH and the calibrator sample as normalizer. Unpaired Student's t test was used to compare the average PROK1 mRNA expression level in the endometriosis with respect to the control group (∗P<.05).
