Analysis of the distribution of TH in ovaries of control-rats injected with Vh (blue bars) or EV (red bars) at 14 days of age; rats denervated with GTD (from days 7 to 27) + Vh (striped blue bars) or GTD (from days 7 to 27) + EV (striped red bars); Vh + + GTD (from days 14 to 34) (striped blue bars) or EV + GTD (from days 14 to 34) (striped red bars); Vh + GTD (from days 70 to 90) (striped blue bars) or EV + GTD (from days 70 to 90) (striped red bars). All animals were sacrificed at days 90–94 of life. The image analysis was performed using the Nis-Elements BR 3.0 system. *p < 0.05 versus immediate control group; ^▲p < 0.05 versus Vh-control group; ^▪p < 0.05 versus EV-control group (Student’s t-test)
