Effect of STZ on endometrial cell proliferation in Zucker obese and lean rats.

The proliferative effect of estrogen on the endometrium is reported as a ratio of BrdU labeled endometrial cells per 200 endometrial epithelial cells. BrdU (100 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally into rats 90 minutes before they were sacrificed. Uterine tissue sections were stained with anti-BrdU antibody. The average number of positively stained cells in 10 high-power microscopic fields were counted for each slide (n=3-6). * p<0.001, Lean E2 vs. Obese E2; # p<0.0001, Obese E2 vs. Obese E2+STZ.
