Immunohistochemical expression of Ang-(1-7), Ang II, ACE2, and ACE in the pseudopregnant decidualized (OI) rat uterus as compared to the non-infused (NI) uterus. The NI horn is presented at x 5 magnification, whereas the OI horn is presented at x1 magnification. In the NI horn, Ang-(1-7) and ACE2 show more enhanced staining in the mesometrial (M) pole; whereas staining for Ang II and ACE is distributed throughout the horn. Decidualization is associated with more concentrated staining of Ang-(1-7), Ang II, and ACE2 at the anti-mesometrial pole (AM). There is more intense staining of ACE in the mesomemetrial pole (M).
