From: Activation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor retards the development of endometriosis
Modulation of α7nAChR affects the development of endometriosis. A Dynamic changes in mean bodyweight in mice from the Control, PNU-282987 and MLA groups. n = 8 in each group. B Boxplot summarizing the lesion weight among the 3 different treatment groups. Representative immunostaining results for E-cadherin C and α-SMA D in endometriotic lesions from Control, PNU-282987 and MLA mice (left panel), along the boxplots summarizing the staining data (right panel). E Representative images of Masson trichrome staining in endometriotic lesions in the three groups of mice (left panel), along with the boxplot summarizing the staining data (right panel). Magnification = 400 × , scale bar = 50 μm. Symbols for statistical significance levels: NS: p > 0.05; *: p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01; ***: p < 0.001
