Effects of LNG on endometrial cell apoptosis determined by TUNEL. HESCs (a) or HEGCs (b) were treated in the absence (control) or presence of 5 × 10−5 mol/L LNG for 24 hs, 48 hs, and 72 hs, measured using TUNEL techniques. The brown staining showed the apoptotic body. The histogram represents the mean ± S.D. of the apoptosis rate calculated for HESCs (c) and HEGCs (d) in 6 patients. ; there was a significant difference compared to the control.
