the effects of diethylstilbestrol ( des ) treatment on myometrial development from the prenatal to adult period were examined in rats and mice by histologic and immunocytochemical methods using anti-actin , -vimentin , and -laminin to assess cytodifferentiation of smooth muscle and fibroblastic cells , and by morphometric procedures to assess quantitatively the effect of des on the expression of cellular orientation in the emerging inner circular myometrial layer .
