Gonadotropin Stimulation Has Only a Limited Effect on the Concentration of Follicular Fluid Signalling Proteins: An Antibody Array Analysis

Table 2

Raw data of the first 15 (nonstructural) protein markers as returned by the software and sorted by the unadjusted value as analysed by the CSAA1 Panorama® array. The original raw table included contained another 499 lines (individual spots of proteins and all types of controls) with unadjusted (not shown). The values shown are means between two and four spots.
