Figure 1.

Uterine tissue from a FL animal. Note the relatively uniform mucin thickness throughout the folds of the uterine wall as well as the mixture of acid and neutral mucin as indicated by the purple staining (arrows) 400X.

Figure 3.

Uterine tissue from a GC animal. Note the neutral pH of the mucin as indicated by the pale blue staining (arrows) as well as a slight variance in the mucin thickness throughout the uterine folds (400X).
