Schematic diagram of experimental model. A Schematic representation of the neural pathway of the superior ovarian nerve (SON) and the anatomical relationship with the coeliac ganglion (CG) and the ovary. The dashed lines indicate sites where the CG-SON-Ovary system was dissected out. B Cuvette used for the incubation of the ex vivo CG-SON-Ovary system with addition of L-NAME (100 μM) in the ganglionic compartment and main parameters analyzed. AG, adrenal gland; L-NAME, L-NG-nitro arginine methyl ester; NA, noradrenaline; 3β-HSD, 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase; P450arom, P450 aromatase
