Analysis of the rat uterus. Graphic representations of uterine wet weight (a), uterine epithelial height (b) and microphotographs of H&E-stained sections (400×) of uterus (c). OVX = Ovariectomized rat treated with vehicle; E2B = Ovariectomized rat treated with estradiol benzoate at the dose of 2 μg/kg. E2B + ICI = Ovariectomized rat co-administered with estradiol benzoate (1.75 μg/kg) and ICI, 182.780 (300 μg/kg). GEN = Ovariectomized rat treated with genistein at the dose of 10 mg/kg BW. MC = Ovariectomized rat treated with 7-methoxycoumarin at the doses of 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg BW. MC + E2B = Ovariectomized rat co-administered with estradiol benzoate (1.75 μg/kg) and MC at the doses of 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg BW. *** p < 0.001 as compared to OVX group. ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 as compared to E2B group. Lu = lumen of uterus; En = endometrium; St = Stroma
