Effects of local intra-uterine infusion of Ang-(1–7) into a decidualized horn on the relative gene expression of markers of apoptosis, APAF, caspase 3, and caspase 9 in non-decidualized vs. decidualized uterus

	Control	Control	Ang-(1–7)	Ang-(1–7)
	Non-decidualized	Decidualized	Non-decidualized	Decidualized
APAF	1.05 +/− 0.08	1.07 +/− 0.12	1.00 +/− 0.08	1.28 +/− 0.13
Caspase 3	1.01 +/− 0.11	1.17 +/− 0.13	1.20 +/− 0.10	1.13 +/− 0.14
Caspase 9	1.05 +/− 0.08	1.25 +/− 0.10	1.08 +/− 0.94	1.29 +/− 0.13

Values and mean +/− SEM, n = 9–10. APAF = apoptotic protease activating factor 1.
