Evidence of inhibin/activin subunit betaC and betaE synthesis in normal human endometrial tissue

Table 3 Immunohistochemical findings determining localization and intensity of immunostaining intensity for inhibin-α, -βA,- βB, -βC and -βE subunits in human endometrium across the normal menstrual cycle

	Inhibin subunits	Proliferative phase	Early secretory phase	Late secretory phase
Glandular epithelium	α	±	+	++
	βA	+	+	++
	βB	+	+	++
	βC	+	+	+
	βE	+	+	++
Stromal cells	α	-	+	++
	βA	-	+	++
	βB	-	+	++
	βC	+	+	+
	βE	-	+	++

- = no staining; +/- = minimal staining + = positive staining; ++ = intense staining.
