Plate II

Progesterone receptor staining of Sahel goat uteri at day 78 of gestation (second trimester). Arrowheads indicate moderate positive progesterone receptor (PR) staining (2+) and eosinophilic cells while arrow indicates strong positive staining (3+) for progesterone receptors (PR) and endometrial lymphocyte. Plate IIc (Control goat): Progesterone receptor staining showed moderate positive staining (2+) in the luminal, glandular and stromal epithelial cells (IHC × 100). Plate IId (Dexamethasone treated goat): Progesterone receptor staining showed moderate positive staining (2+) in the stromal and luminal epithelial cells and strong positive (3+) in the glandular epithelia cells (IHC × 100).
