Immunoperoxidase for decorin. (A) Ovx group: decorin is present in the deep stroma, the external muscle layer and the connective tissue between layers; (B) E2-group: the immunoreaction is seen in the whole endometrial stroma, especially around glands and under the luminal epithelium (arrows), as well as in both layers of the myometrium; (C) MPA-group: the reaction is observed in the deep stroma and only traces are seen in the superficial stroma (asterisk). In the myometrium, the reaction is present in both layers and the connective tissue; (D) E2+MPA-group: the deposition of decorin is observed in the whole endometrial stroma and in both layers of the myometrium, as well ass in the connective tissue between them. L = uterine lumen; G = endometrial gland; SS = superficial stroma; DS = deep stroma; V = blood vessel; IML = internal muscle layer; EML = external muscle layer. Scale bar: 50 μm.
