Figure 2.

Effects of genistein supplementation on IL-6 (A), IL-8 (B), VEGF-C (C) and TNF-α (D) protein expression levels in the ovarian samples. The intensity of the bands shown was quantified by densitometric analysis. The bar represents the standard error of the mean. Blots were repeated at least 3 times (n = 3) and a representative blot is shown. β-actin was included to ensure equal protein loading. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 statistically different compared with the control group. TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-alpha; IL-6: interleukin 6; IL-8: interleukin 8; VEGF-C: vascular endothelial growth factor-C.
