  1. Statistical differences were analyzed by ANOVA. a vs b p < 0.00001 for stromal cells. c vs d p < 0.0001 for epithelial cells. Within columns, different superscripts show significant differences: * vs ** p < 0.01. Results of cell counts for each type of stimulation are presented as the mean percentage relative to the respective unstimulated control (n = 3 uteri with two replicates for all stimuli).
