In situ hybridization of BMP-3b mRNA in ovaries of adult cycling rats. All photographs are from ovaries at DI 1100 h. Brightfield (A, C, D, F, G, H) and Darkfield (B, E, I). A, B: Low power photomicrograph showing positive theca (T), ovary surface epithelium (OSE), sex cords (SC), and CL-I (4X); C: Higher power (40X) of theca in B showing strongly positive theca interna (TI) and theca externa (TE); D, E: New CL-I showing positive signal in some theca lutein (TLC) and TE cells (20X); F: Positive OSE (40X); G: Positive SC (40X); H, I: Positive TI in healthy GF. Note negative TI of atretic AF follicle (10X).
