Figure 3.
Effect of triiodothyronine (T3) on angiogenic growth factor secretion by uterine natural killer (uNK) cells after 24 h of treatment with 0, 1, 10 or 100 nM T3. (A) Isolated from first trimester samples, (B) isolated from second trimester samples. Within each experiment, the angiogenic growth factor concentration was compared with that after no T3 treatment (0 nM), which was given an arbitrary value of 1. Bars represent mean + SEM. FGF, fibroblast growth factor; TIMP-1, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase I; ICAM-1, intracellular adhesion molecule 1; VEGF-A, vascular endothelial growth factor-A.
