Immunolocalization of endometrial α-SMA in response to intrauterine hCG infusion in oocyte donors. Intrauterine hCG resulted in significantly increased stromal expression of α-SMA compared with vehicle controls. Similar to the non-human primate, α-SMA expression localized primarily to the sub-luminal epithelial (arrow) and peri-vascular stromal cells. Staining intensity was quantified by image analysis software ImageJ (D-HSCORE) for statistical analysis. **P < 0.01; Scale bar = 50 µm.
