3. Figure 1
Association between metal levels (median and interquartile range) and histologic image of endometrium in the whole group (white bars) as well as in the subset of never-smokers (gray bars). Asterisks indicate a significant difference (P<.05) from histologically normal endometrial tissue in the corresponding group.

4. Figure 2
Cu/Zn ratio (median and interquartile range) in histologically differentiated (A) endometrial and (B) endocervical tissues in the whole group (white bars) as well as in the subset of never-smokers (gray bars). Asterisks indicate a significant difference (P<.05) from histologically normal endometrial/endocervical tissue in the corresponding group. Concentrations (median and interquartile range) of (C) Cd, (D) Pb, and (E) Ni in endometrium (white bars) and endocervix (gray bars) according to smoking history (NS = never smokers; CS = current smokers; FS = former smokers). Asterisks indicate a significant difference (P<.05) between indicated groups.
