Figure 4From: Delineation of VEGF-regulated genes and functions in the cervix of pregnant rodents by DNA microarray analysisMouse recombinant VEGF protein 164 induces epithelial growth in mouse cervix. The effects of VEGF protein (mice recombinant VEGF164 protein, 10 ng/mouse × 3 times/day for 3 days, intravaginally) on cervical epithelial proliferation growth of non-pregnant ovexed mice, as revealed by SEM (A. Control, B, VEGF protein). Note pronounced involutions in treated (thin arrows) compared to shallow folds in control (thick arrows). Mag × 3,700. n = 3.Back to article page
