Note: Illumina MouseRef-8 chips were probed with RNA from 3 to 4 animals per group. Real-time RT-PCR was performed on 6–8 animals per group. Data were analyzed as described in Material and Methods. Average fold change in endometriotic lesions relative to eutopic tissue at each time point is shown. Gene expression was considered altered in endometriotic lesions if the fold change was ≤0.5 or ≥2 and P<.05.

P<.05 for endometriotic lesion vs. eutopic uterus within each time point.
