Changes in integrin cytokines in the endometrium of women on the theoretical embryo implantation day and the correlation between endometrial cytokine levels and serum progesterone levels. TEAS increased integrin α1β1 and αVβ3 but not α4β1 in the endometrium (A). Linear regression analysis showing a positive correlation with endometrial content of integrinα 1β1 (B) and αVβ3 (D) but not α4β1 (C), HB-EGF E or LIF (F) levels. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.E., with *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 representing statistically significant differences compared with the control group (unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test)
