Effects of estradiol and progesterone on progression through meiotic prophase I. a-d Representative confocal section labeled with a SYCP3 (green) showing oocyte with pachytene expression pattern (arrow), b VASA, oocyte marker (red), c TOTO3, nuclear marker (blue) and d overlay. Scale bar = 10 μm. e Graph showing the percentage of oocytes in the pachytene stage as determined by SYCP3 expression pattern (+/−SEM). Asterisk indicates significant difference from control (P < 0.05; n = 8 ovaries per treatment group) as determined by a two-tailed T-test
