The Liver X Receptor in Correlation with Other Nuclear Receptors in Spontaneous and Recurrent Abortions
Figure 2
Quantification of mRNA expression of LXR A and B in placentas of spontaneous miscarriages and recurrent miscarriage. (a) We identified a nonsignificant downregulation of LXR mRNA expression in spontaneous abortion placentas compared to normal controls (57%, ). (b) In recurrent abortion we identified a downregulation of LXR mRNA expression to 53% compared to control placentas. (c) LXR A was downregulated to 27% () and (e) LXR B was downregulated to 38% (). (d) LXR A was downregulated to 55% () and (f) LXR B was downregulated to 52% (). Mann-Whitney- test was used for evaluation of two independent groups.
