Table 2.

Percentage distribution of the nucleolus number by nuclei in secretory epithelial cells of the female prostate in young, adult and senescent ages

	% of the nuclei containing each number of nucleoli

	Number of nucleoli in each nucleus

Ages	0* (not detectable)	1*	2*	More than 2*	Average number of nucleoli in group*
Young	3.41 ± 1.45^a	5.85 ± 1.52^a	7.63 ± 1.82^a	83.09 ± 3.68^a	38.79 ± 3.35^a
Adult	9.11 ± 1.98^b	9.74 ± 2.67^a	12.56 ± 2.75^a	68.57 ± 5.34^b	20.96 ± 1.32^b
Senile	0.00 ± 0.00^a	2.10 ± 1.27^b	0.83 ± 0.58^b	97.05 ± 1.69^c	31.32 ± 2.23^a

Values represent mean ± SD and asterisks represent statistically significant differences between the ages (P ≤ 0.05). Superscript letters (^a,b,c) represent statistically significant differences between the ages. Statistical analysis based on the anova and Tukey Tests.
