Effects of IL-1β and TNFα on collagen gel contraction of M-ES-healthy, M-ES-endo, and Ectopic-ES. (A) Representative photomicrographs of contracted gels taken at 24 h in M-ES-healthy, M-ES-endo, and Ectopic-ES treated with IL-1β or TNFα at the indicated concentrations, or vehicle. (B) Collagen gel contraction at 24 h in M-ES-healthy, M-ES-endo, and Ectopic-ES treated with IL-1β or TNFα at the indicated concentrations, or vehicle alone. *p < 0.05: versus control (vehicle alone) within the same group. C: control (vehicle alone). Numerical values are presented as the mean + SD. M-ES-healthy: n = 6. M-ES-endo: n = 8. Ectopic-ES: n = 16.
