Fig. 1.
Dose-dependent release of NO after in vitro stimulation of granulocytes (106 cells per mL) by 17β-estradiol and E2-BSA but not by progesterone or testosterone.
The graphed values represent peak values obtained 2 minutes after drug exposure. The cells were exposed to the agents for the entire observation period (15 minutes). Each experiment was repeated four times, and the resulting mean value plus or minus SEM was graphed. Control cells were those exposed just to the vehicle.
