Ovarian histologies of the rats with atropine into the SCN at 09.00 h during proestrus. The micrographs correspond to the greatest section of the ovary at 10-μm thick that was stained with haematoxylin-eosin. The rats were sacrificed on the predicted vaginal oestrus day. a the ovaries of rats following the microinjection of the vehicle into either SCN (Vh-SCN) in which several fresh corpora lutea can be observed and some antral follicles can be observed. b Ovaries of rats microinjected with atropine in either SCN (ATR-SCN); F, antral follicles; CL, corpora lutea. 4X microscopic lens, Scale Bar = 200 μm
