In situ hybridization of BMPR-IA mRNA in ovaries of adult cycling rats. Brighfield (A, C, D, E, G, I) and Darkfield (B, F, H, J). A, B: Sections from DII 1100 h ovaries (4X). Positive oocyte; C: Positive oocytes (O) and GC in primordial and primary follicles at P 1000 h (40X); D: Positive secondary follicle with three layers of GC at DII 1100 h (20X); E, F: Positive oocyte of an early tertiary follicle at P 1000 h. Note expression in TI (arrowheads) (10X); G, H: Preovulatory follicle at E 1000 h showing positive oocyte (O); Note weak signal in GC and TI (4X); I, J: Atretic follicle at E 1000 h showing positive O and GC (10X).
