1 Lipiodol alters murine uterine dendritic cell populations: A potential mechanism for the fertility-enhancing effect of lipiodol  Neil Phillip Johnson, Santwona Bhattu, B.Sc.Hon., Angela Wagner, B.Sc.Hon., Deborah Adella Blake, Ph.D., Lawrence William Chamley, Ph.D.  Fertility and Sterility  Volume 83, Issue 6, Pages (June 2005) DOI: /j.fertnstert Copyright © 2005 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

3 FIGURE 2 Mean number of CD205+ dendritic cells per square millimeter of uterus from the three treatment groups of mice. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. *Mean number of CD205+ dendritic cells in lipiodol-treated mice is significantly lower than in sham-treated mice (P=.007) and saline-treated mice (P<.05).

4 FIGURE 3 Shows the distribution of CD205+ dendritic cells associated with uterine structures from the sham-treated (blue), saline-treated (beige) and lipiodol-treated (red) mice. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. Following lipiodol treatment, there were significantly fewer CD205+ dendritic cells near the glandular epithelium and luminal epithelium in comparison to the sham-treated and saline-treated groups (*P<.05). There were no significant differences in the distribution of dendritic cells between the three treatment groups in the myometrium, serosa or near the blood vessels (P>.05). Johnson.

5 FIGURE 4 Mean number of CD1+ dendritic cells per square millimeter of uterus from sham-treated, saline-treated, and lipiodol-treated animals. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. *Mean number of CD1+ dendritic cells in lipiodol-treated mice is significantly higher than sham-treated mice (P=.01). Johnson.

6 FIGURE 5 Shows the distribution of CD1+ dendritic cells associated with uterine structures from the sham-treated (blue), saline-treated (beige) and lipiodol-treated (red) mice. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. Following lipiodol treatment, there were significantly more CD1+ dendritic cells near the glandular epithelium and in the stroma in comparison to the sham-treated and saline-treated groups (*P<.05). There were no significant differences in the distribution of CD1+ dendritic cells in the myometrium, serosa or near the blood vessels and in the luminal epithelium between the treatment groups (P>.05).
