The populations (expressed as percentages, mean ± SEM) of uterine perikarya expressing dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DβH) and/or vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) (A), DβH and/or somatostatin (SOM) (B), DβH and/or neuropeptide Y (NPY) (C) and DβH and/or neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) (D), as well as those without these substances in the PCG of gilts from the control (white bars), saline (grey bars) and E. coli (black bars) groups. Data are expressed as percentages of the total population of uterine perikarya stained for two substances in each group, accepted as 100 %. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 show differences between all groups for the same population of uterine perikaryal
