FIGURE 1 In vitro accumulation of IL-1β, IL-6, and VEGF by human granulosa luteal cells in culture, under basal conditions, and in response to hCG. Levels were measured in pg/mL per 103 cells per 3 hours. ∗P<0.05 (production of IL-6 under basal conditions in controls versus in patients with endometriosis).
