Ovarian histologies of the rats injected with a Vh or b EV at 14 days of age, e denervated with GTD (from days 7 to 27) + Vh at day 14 of life or f GTD (from days 7 to 27) + EV at day 14 of life, g Vh-injected at day 14 of life + GTD (from days 14 to 34) or h EV-injected at day 14 of life + GTD (from days 14 to 34), i Vh-injected at day 14 of life + GTD (from days 70 to 90) or j EV-injected at day 14 of life + GTD (from days 70 to 90). 4X microscopic lens, Scale Bar = 500 μm; c amplification of a cyst taken from Fig. B. 10X microscopic lens, Scale Bar = 200 μm; d thickening of the stratum of theca cells and thinning of the stratum of the granulosa cell of a follicular cyst taken from Fig. C. 40X microscopic lens, Scale Bar = 50 μm. Rats were sacrificed in the adult stage at days 90–94 of life, on the day of vaginal estrus; F: follicles in different stages of maturation; CL: corpora lutea; PC: pre-cyst; C: cyst; gr: granulosa cells; t: thecal cells
