Figure 6. Micrograph of a cross-section of the Uterus of Experimental Animals
treated with 200mg/kg of aqueous Carica papaya seed
extract. Stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H and E stain). Mag x 100.
The control group (A) at 7 and 21 days shows normal simple cuboidal
epithelial cells lining the uterine gland, and well-pigmented
endometrial cells as compared to Carica papaya-treated
groups. The severity of uterine cellular distortion has higher in those
treated for 21 days.
