(a) Effect of E₂ on chemotaxis and representative photographs at 5 h, taken at ×20 magnification. (b) Effect of LPS treatment (upper chamber) and E₂ used as chemoattractant on chemotaxis and representative photographs (right) at 5 h, taken at ×20 magnification. (c) Effect of LPS and E₂ used both as chemoattractant on chemotaxis and representative photographs at 5 h, taken at ×20 magnification. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD of at least 10 independent samples for each sex. Connectors represent the statistical differences. Black bars, male monocytes; white bars, female monocytes
