2. Figure 1
Representative photomicrograph of histologic section from eutopic endometrium from woman without endometriosis showing immunostaining of endometrial sections for apoptosis by the TUNEL technique. Note the presence of numerous immunostained apoptotic cells. Original magnification was ×400.

3. Figure 2
Spontaneous apoptosis in eutopic endometria from patients with endometriosis (EDT) and control women (CONTROL). Histologic sections were immunostained by the TUNEL technique (see text). The numbers of apoptotic cells were determined by counting labeled cells in ×630 magnification randomly selected fields. Data were expressed as the apoptotic cell mean/field. □ = control; ■ EDT. ∗P<.001.

4. Figure 3
Spontaneous apoptosis in eutopic endometria from patients with endometriosis (EDT) and control women (CONTROL), in the late proliferative phase (LP) and late secretory phase (LS) of the menstrual cycle. Histologic sections were immunostained by the TUNEL technique (see text). The numbers of apoptotic cells were determined by counting labeled cells in ×630 magnification randomly selected fields. Data were expressed as the apoptotic cell mean/field. ∗LP: Control vs. endometriosis P<.05. ∗∗LS: Control vs, endometriosis P<.001.

5. Figure 4
Sections immunostained for Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression. (A), Bcl-2 protein expression in proliferative endometrium from a patient with endometriosis (×200). (B), Bax protein expression in secretory endometrium from a control subject (×400). Note strong immunopositivity in endometrial sections. Bcl-2 and Bax staining predominated in glandular cells.
