Figure 2From: Apoptosis is increased and cell proliferation is decreased in out-of-phase endometria from infertile and recurrent abortion patientsApoptosis in in-phase and out-of-phase endometrium. Apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL technique in the epithelial fraction. The percentage of apoptotic cells were determined by counting labelled cells at 400X magnification in 10 randomly selected and homogeneous fields. Out-of-phase endometrium presents a significantly higher percentage of apoptotic cells than in-phase controls. * p < 0.05 vs. Control.Back to article page
