(A): uterus from control rats shows normal histopathological structure of the mucosal lining epithelium (m) and the underlying lamina propria (p) with normal glandular structure (G). (B): uterine sections from rats subjected to γ- irradiation shows marked degeneration and stratification of the mucosal lining epithelium with multiple vacuoles (v) and thickening in the lamina propria (C) & (D): uterine sections taken from rats following GH treatment [either γ- irradiated (C) or not (D)] shows normal histological structure. Scale bar, 20 μm.
