Additional file 2: of Analysis of menstrual effluent: diagnostic potential for endometriosis

Figure S1. ME-derived SFCs obtained from endometriosis subjects exhibit reduced decidualization capacity when exposed to cAMP+MPA + E2. Time course of IGFBP-1 secretion by vehicle- and 0.5 mM cAMP+ 1 μM MPA+ 10 nM E2-treated ME-derived SFCs isolated from endometriosis (Endo) and control subjects (n = 7 control, n = 7 endometriosis). Data are shown as IGFBP-1 values for each subject’s SFC culture and the horizontal lines represent group means and vertical lines represent the standard error of the mean. ** posterior probabilities (Pr) < 0.01 *Pr < 0.05. Statistics were performed on log transformed data, as described in the methods. (TIFF 113 kb)
