Histopathological changes of uterus tissues (H&E, ×200). (a) In the control group (CG), the mice received no treatment. (b) In the S. aureus group (S. aureus), the mouse model of S. aureus endometritis received no drug treatment. (c) In the DEX group (DEX), mice with S. aureus endometritis were treated with 5 mg/kg of dexamethasone. (d–f) In the piperine treatment groups (PTGs), mice with S. aureus endometritis were given 25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, or 100 mg/kg of piperine.
