Comparison of total vaginal mucosal thickness between PT and RM in day 0 (progesterone dominance) and day 14 (estradiol dominance) of the menstrual cycle. Note (A) significant differences in mean vaginal epithelial thickness between the two species on day zero (RM 0.263 mm; PT 0.188 mm; P= 0.043). Minimum thicknesses (thinnest points) in the epithelium of the macaques were also significantly different on day zero (RM 0.199 mm; PT 0.08 mm; P=0.003.). Significant differences in the overall vaginal epithelial thickness in the follicular phase were limited to differences in the thinnest point (RM 0.222 mm, PT 0.143mm; P=0.03) (B). There were also significant inter-species differences between mean vaginal thickness on day 0 and 14 (C). P values less than 0.05 were considered significant.
