Fig. 1 The size of endometriotic implants regressed significantly in letrozole, etanercept and infliximab treated groups. The figure shows an implant on the peritoneal surface of the abdominal wall in letrozole treated group before treatment (A) and its regression in the same group after a 21-day treatment (B).

Fig. 2 Immunohistochemical examination of a sample from an animal in letrozole treated group with marked VEGF immunoreactivity in both glandular epithelial and stromal cells before treatment (A). VEGF immunoreactivity after letrozole treatment (B) was significantly weaker than before treatment. However, in the infliximab treated group, no significant difference was observed between pre- (C) and post-treatment (D).
