Effects of adrenomedullin on the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in oviducts from women with tubal ectopic pregnancy: an in-vitro experimental study

Table 2 Cytokines/chemokines which were unaltered in tEP oviducts (N = 5) compared to controls (N = 5) but significantly suppressed by treatment with 100 nM ADM for 24 h
