Figure 3

(A) Cyclic AMP (cAMP) production by endometrial tissue explants in response to a 10 min stimulation with 100 nM PGE2 or vehicle. Graph shows average fold increase in cAMP production by endometrium of women with normal and heavy menstrual blood losses (MBLs) (normal MBL ≤80 ml and heavy MBL >80 ml). Asterisk indicates significant elevated cAMP production (P < 0.05). (B) Phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) mRNA expression in endometrium of women with normal and heavy MBLs (normal MBL ≤80 ml and heavy MBL >80 ml) as determined by real-time quantitative RT–PCR. The data are presented as box-and-whisker plots: box represents the 25th and 75th percentiles and the heavy bar represents the median. The whiskers are the 10th and 90th percentiles. NP, normal proliferative (n = 7); HP, heavy proliferative (n = 5); NS, normal secretory (n = 6); HS, heavy secretory (n = 5). Asterisk indicates significant difference (P < 0.05).
