摘要: Contents The aim of this study was to quantify the number and size connexin43 (Cx43) gap junctions in circular longitudinal layers myometrium non-pregnant pig. We developed a novel approach measure mean surface area (), numerical density (Nv) (Sv) using confocal microscopy stereological analysis. Immunolabelled Cx43 were measured subendometrial deep regions layer pre-pubertal pig mature at pre-ovulatory secretory stages oestrous cycle. In region, all investigated parameters (, Nv Sv) significantly higher (p < 0.05) than those region three groups animals. These results indicate large-scale heterogeneity across emphasize existence functional diversity among myometrial cells.
