Catechins inhibits MMP2 and MMP9 expressions in uterus of model mice. a The immunohistochemical staining of MMP2 was performed in uterus in control or model mice with or without 100 mg/kg catechins treatment for 28 days. b The immunohistochemical staining of MMP9 was performed in uterus in control or model mice with or without 100 mg/kg catechins treatment for 28 days. Different magnifications of representative images were displayed. Scale bar in low magnification = 500 μm. The boxed area in black color were shown by a higher magnification. Scale bar in high magnification = 50 μm. c Related to 6A, the mean optical density analysis of MMP2 in uterus was performed in different groups in mice. N = 6 in each group. d Related to 6B, the mean optical density analysis of MMP9 in uterus was performed in different groups in mice. N = 6 in each group. e Representative images of western blot analysis of MMP2 and MMP9 were displayed in uterus in control or model mice with or without 100 mg/kg catechins treatment for 28 days. f Related to 6E, the relative quantitative analysis was performed of MMP2of western blot analysis in uterus in different groups in mice. N = 4 in each group. g Related to 6E, the relative quantitative analysis was performed of MMP9 of western blot analysis in uterus in different groups in mice. N = 4 in each group. A P value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant
