Relationship between macrophages in mouse uteri and angiogenesis in endometrium during the peri-implantation period
W Tan, L Chen, L Guo, X Ou, D Xie, S Quan - Theriogenology, 2014 - Elsevier
The objective of this study is to examine the change in macrophage numbers, inducible form
of NO synthase (iNOS), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression both
before and after embryo implantation in the uterine tissue of mice. In order to explore the
mechanism of macrophages in endometrial angiogenesis, 8-week-old female mice were
divided into three groups: pregnant group, pseudopregnant group (mated to male mice that
had been vasectomized), and estrous group (unmated). Individuals from these three groups …
