The collagen content of the proximal and distal cervices of the virgin, mid-pregnant, and four weeks postpartum Long-Evans rat. The collagen content was obtained by multiplying the measured collagen concentration by the initial volume of the standard.

★signifies a difference between the proximal and distal cervices within the same experimental time point (p < 0.05).

+ signifies a difference between similar sections of the cervix between two different experimental time points (p < 0.05).
