Diagram of the models characterized in this study. A: Single proximal injection (SPI). B: Double distal injection (DDI). C and D: Representative fluorescent images of Evans Blue Dye distribution given as an SPI (C) and a DDI (D). E: Quantification of the percentage of uterine tissue area colocalized with fluorescent dye. F: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) content in vaginal lavage fluid 8 hours after surgery, injecting 20 μg LPS by either SPI or DDI. Data are expressed as means ± SD (E and F). n = 3 per group (E); n = 5 per group (F). *P < 0.05, ****P < 0.001 versus SPI.
