Galectin-1 overexpression in late secretory phase of eutopic endometrium and in endometriotic sites. VergetakiAikaterini JeschkeUdo VrekoussisThomas TaliouriEirini SabatiniLuca A. PapakonstantiEvangelia MakrigiannakisAntonis 2014 <p><b>1a:</b> Immunohistochemical expression of galectin-1 expression through the different phases of the menstrual cycle of the endometrium (A: proliferative, B: early secretory phase, C: late secretory phase) showing a higher expression pattern at the late secretory phase of the endometrium(C), *p<0.05. <b>1b:</b> Western blot immunodetection of galectin-1 (14 kDa) protein expression in eutopic and ectopic endometrium. Galectin-1 is overexpressed in eutopic endometrium of endometriotic women (ee) when compared to eutopic endometrium of healthy women (he), *p<0.05 and galectin-1 shows an abundant expression in ectopic endometrium (e) when compared to eutopic endometrium of the same endometriotic women (ee), **p<0.01. GAPDH (37 KDa) was used as a house keeping gene.</p>
