Figure 3: The effects of incompatibility of Veratrum nigrum (VN) and Panax ginseng (GS) on the histology of the uterus and vagina in immature and ovariectomized (OVX) mice.

Representative photomicrographs taken at 200-X magnification of uterine and 400-X magnification of vaginal sections. (A,B) are the histology of the uterus in immature mice and ovariectomized (OVX) mice. (C,D) are the histology of the vagina in immature mice and ovariectomized (OVX) mice. The treatment groups in immature mice are shown: (a) control group; (b) treated with ICI; (c) treated with VN at 0.045 g/kg; (d) treated with GS at 12 g/kg; (e) treated with GS at 12 g/kg and ICI, (f) treated with GS at 12 g/kg and VN. (g) treated with GS at 18 g/kg; (h) treated with GS at 18 g/kg and ICI; (i) treated with GS at 18 g/kg and VN; (j) treated with GS at 24 g/kg; (k) treated with GS at 24 g/kg and ICI; (l) treated with GS at GS 24 g/kg and VN in immature mice. The treatment groups in OVX mice are shown: (a) sham-operated mice; (b) untreated OVX mice; (c) treated with EV; (d) treated with EV and ICI, (e) treated with EV and VN; (f) treated with GS at 18 g/kg; (g) treated with GS at 18 g/kg and ICI, (h) treated with GS 18 at g/kg and VN; (i) treated with GS at 24 g/kg; (j) treated with GS at 24 g/kg and ICI; and (k) treated with GS at 24 g/kg and VN in OVX mice.
