The immunostaining scores for c-Fos 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-Fos immunoreactivity was significantly increased in cervical stroma (P < 0.01), squamous epithelium (P < 0.01) and glandular epithelium (P < 0.05) in PP as compared to TP group. Changes in vascular endothelium and smooth muscle did not differ between the groups. Wilks lambda = 0.14. F10,16 = 2.70, P > 0.05.
