Figure 2From: Probiotic lactobacillus and estrogen effects on vaginal epithelial gene expression responses to Candida albicansRelease of lactate dehydrogenase from VK2 cells. The amount of LDH released into the basolateral media (shown as mean ± standard error relative fluorescence units, RFU) was compared between the following groups: 1 = VK2 cells, 2 = VK2 cells + C. albicans, 3 = VK2 cells + 17β-estradiol, 4 = VK2 cells + 17β-estradiol + C. albicans, 5 = VK2 cells + probiotic lactobacilli, 6 = VK2 cells + 17β-estradiol + C. albicans + probiotic lactobacilli. *Significantly different than group 1, by ANOVA, P < 0.05.Back to article page
