From: Relaxin deficiency results in increased expression of angiogenesis- and remodelling-related genes in the uterus of early pregnant mice but does not affect endometrial angiogenesis prior to implantation

Representative photomicrograph of CD31 (blue, pan-endothelial cell marker) and BrdU (brown, proliferating cell marker) immunostaining in the endometrium of a (a) wild type (Rln +/+) and (b) relaxin deficient (Rln -/-) mice on day 4 of pregnancy. Black arrow indicates blood vessel profile; * = proliferating endothelial cells; g = gland; s = stroma; m = myometrium. c Percentage of vessel profiles containing proliferating endothelial cells (%) and the (d) number of proliferating endothelial cells per mm2 in the endometrium of Rln +/+ and Rln -/- mice on days 1 and 4 of pregnancy (n = 5–7). Horizontal lines indicate mean values. Each triangle represents data from an individual mouse
