Effects of artificial ovaries transplantation on the uteri of ovariectomised (OVX) mice. (a) Representative images of the uterus at 6 weeks after transplantation. (b) Representative images of the uteri at 10 weeks after transplantation. (c) Images of the uterine sections stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) at 6 weeks after transplantation (En, endometrium). (d) Images of the uteri stained with H&E at 10 weeks after transplantation (En, endometrium). (e) Uterine index after transplantation. (f) The thickness of the endometrium and (g) the number of glands in the uterus were calculated in each group after transplantation. The data are represented as the mean ± standard deviation. * indicates significance at P < 0.05 compared with the sham groups; # indicates significance at P < 0.05 compared with the OVX groups; $ indicates significance at P < 0.05 compared with the CTP-F groups; & indicates significance at P < 0.05 compared with the ALG groups, determined using one-way ANOVA, followed by Student–Newman–Keuls post-hoc analysis
