Figure 4.
Immunohistochemical expression of Ang II and ACE at greater magnification (x40) illustrating their presence in the luminal epithelium (LE), glandular epithelium (GE), mesometrial pole (M) and anti-mesometrial pole (AM) of the pseudopregnant decidualized (OI) rat uterus as compared to the non-infused (NI) uterus. Ang II and ACE staining is present in the LE and GE of the non-infused rat uterus. Also, Ang II and ACE are distributed throughout the horn. In the OI horn, while Ang II is localized in the AM pole ACE is localized more at the M pole. Notice the patchy and attenuated LE in OI indicating collapse of the LE.
