Impairment of ovulatory function in mouse models for PCOS. Mice were injected with DHEA decoction (6 mg/100 g.d) and sesame oil for consecutive 3 weeks and examination weekly. A Schematic illustration of the experimental design of PCOS mouse models. B Body weight. C Representative oestrous cycle of one mouse from each group. P, proestrus; E, estrus; M, metestrus; D, diestrus. D Representative HE staining of ovarian tissue from one mouse from each group. The cystic follicle is indicated by red asterisks; corpora lutea was indicated by red pound signs. Scale bar: 200 μm. E Quantitative analysis of cystic follicles (n = 6). F Quantitative analysis of corpora lutea (n = 6). Line graphs show the mean ± SD. ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 versus control group
