Figure 5From: Plasma membrane receptor mediated MAPK signaling pathways are activated in human uterine cervix at parturitionThe immunostaining scores for c-Jun in different cell types in cervical biopsies from non-pregnant (NP, n = 2), term pregnant (TP, n = 4) and postpartum (PP, n = 8) groups. c-Jun immunoreactivity was significantly increased in cervical cervical stroma (P < 0.01) and smooth muscle (P < 0.001) in TP as compared to NP group. Changes in vascular endothelium, squamous epithelium and glandular epithelium did not differ between the groups. Wilks lambda = 0.07. F10,16 = 4.03.Back to article page
