PFN1 and ALOX5 immunolocalization in endometrium. (a–d) Representative photomicrographs of endometrial biopsies showing localization of PFN1 protein in the stroma (s), luminal (le) and glandular (ge) epithelium in the proliferative (a,b) and late secretory (c,d) phases. (e–g) PFN1 immunostaining intensity scoring in the luminal epithelium (e, n = 3), glandular epithelium (f, n = 3) and stroma (g, n = 3). (h–k) Representative photomicrographs of endometrial biopsies showing localization of ALOX5 protein in the stroma, luminal and glandular epithelium in the proliferative (h–i) and late secretory (j–k) phases. (l–n) ALOX5 immunostaining intensity scoring in the luminal epithelium (l, n = 4), glandular epithelium (m, n = 4) and stroma (n, n = 4). Inserts show negative staining. Data are mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05, significant difference from proliferative phase; e-g;l-n: Mann Whitney t-test.
