Figure 3

The expression profile of genes encoding ECS transport and degrading proteins. Transcription expression that showed a significant difference at any stage in the menstrual cycle were plotted against cycle stage. (A) For the transporting proteins moderate expression was observed for FABP5 and FABP3 that was significantly increased across the menstrual cycle. (B) ECS degrading enzymes had a moderate to low expression that were most commonly altered between the menstrual and early proliferative stage, or during the period from the late proliferative to mid secretory stage. Two genes ABHD12 and NAAA showed a consistent increase over the proliferative stage, after which there was decrease in expression. M = Menstrual, EP = Early proliferative, MP = Mid proliferative, LP = Late proliferative, ES = Early secretory, MS = Mid secretory, LS = Late secretory.
