2. FIGURE 1
Effect of E2 and Eq combined with the progestogens norethinderone acetate (N), medroxyprogesterone (M), and progesterone (P) on MMP-2 (A) and MMP-9 (B) in T47D and MCF-7 cells. Cells were incubated with 10 nM of E2 or Eq combined with 10 nM of the respective progestogens for 48 hours. Data are presented as the average of three zymography experiments analyzed by densitometry, and presented as a fraction of control ± SEM. *P<.05 compared to controls.
