Figure 1

Changes in the estrous cycles of rats (×200). (a) Proestrus, a large number of small nucleated epithelial cells found individually and in cohesive clusters (red arrow). (b) Estrus, a large number of anucleated epithelial cells (blue arrow). (c) Metestrus, neutrophils interspersed or clumped (yellow arrow) among the nucleated (black arrow) and anucleated epithelial cells (blue arrow). (d) Diestrus, predominately neutrophils (yellow arrow) that are mixed with a few epithelial cells (black arrow and blue arrow).
