Fig. 3From: Evaluation of an alternative heterotopic transplantation model for ovarian tissue to test pharmaceuticals improvements for fertility restorationFollicle development after transplantation into ovariectomized or non-ovariectomized mice. Transplantation of slow frozen (SF) ovaries from BALB/c mice (7 weeks old) into SCID mice (7-11 weeks old) for 2 weeks. Representative images of hematoxylin & eosin staining of ovaries transplanted into a non-ovariectomized (A) and an ovariectomized (B) mice. Arrowheads show primary follicles and arrows show secondary or more mature follicles. (C) Follicle density of primordial, primary or secondary or more mature follicles (means ± SEM). n = 11–12 ovaries per group. * p ≤ 0.05. OVX = ovariectomyBack to article page
