Figure 1 Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections of the eutopic endometrium of women with and without AM stained against PGP 9.5 (A, B), against SP (C, D), and against TH (E, F) (original magnification ×200; arrows show NFs). (G) Quantification of the NF density of PGP 9.5, SP, and TH (NFs/mm2) in the eutopic endometrium of women without AM (mean density and SD; two-way ANOVA). (H) Quantification of the NF density of PGP 9.5, SP, and TH (NFs/mm2) in the eutopic endometrium of women with AM (mean density and SD; two-way ANOVA).

Figure 2 Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections of the myometrium of women with and without AM stained against PGP 9.5 (A, B), against SP (C, D), and against TH (E, F) (original magnification ×200; arrows show NFs). EM = endometrium; MM = myometrium; AL = AM lesion. (G) Quantification of the NF density of PGP 9.5, SP, and TH (NFs/mm2) in the myometrium of women with and without AM (mean density and SD; two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post-test: ***P<.001).

Figure 3 Formalin- fixed paraffin-embedded sections of the eutopic endometrium and myometrium of women with and without AM (A–F) stained against P450 aromatase and (G–K) double stained against ERα/TH or ERβ/TH. (A) Endometrium from women without AM, (B) endometrium from women with AM, (C) myometrium from women without AM, (D) myometrium from women with AM, and (E) AM lesion (original magnification ×200). (F) Quantification of the P450 aromatase expression in the eutopic endometrium and myometrium of women with and without AM and in adenomyotic lesion (mean density and SD; two way Anova with Bonferroni correction test; P<.05*). (G) ERα/TH staining of uteri without AM, (H) ERα/TH staining of uteri with AM, (I) ERβ/TH staining of uteri without AM, and (J) ERβ/TH staining from women with AM (original magnification ×200; arrows show NFs). (K) Quantification of the ERα/ERβ ratio in the myometrial noradrenergic NFs of women with and without AM (mean density and SD; two-way ANOVA).

Supplemental Figure 1 Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections of adenomyotic implants (A, B, C) stained against PGP 9.5 (A), substance P (SP) (B), and TH (C) (original magnification ×200; arrows show NFs). (D) Quantification of the NF density of intact (PGP 9.5), peptidergic (SP), and noradrenergic (TH; NF/mm2) close to the adenomyotic implants (mean density and SD; Kruskal-Wallis test).
