Figure 3

Ovaries of 0.5-year-old wild type (WT) mouse (A, C, E) and 0.5-year-old bovine GH transgenic (bGHTg) mice (B, D, F). All types of well-developed follicles, including preantral (PAF), antral (AF), Graffian (GF) follicles, as well as granulose cells (asterix) and theca cells (arrowhead) are visible in WT mouse ovaries. Numerous corpora lutea (CL), cuboidal epithelium on the surface (arrow), and blood vessels (BV) are also present (A, C, E). The ovaries from bovine GH transgenic mice (B, D, F) were bigger than ovaries from WT mice (A, C, E). All types of follicles were observed, including antral (AF) and Graffian (GF) follicles, and granulose cells (asterix) and theca cells (arrowhead) are also visible. In addition, corpora lutea (CL), cuboidal epithelium on the surface (arrow), interstitial tissue (IT), and blood vessels (BV) are visible (B, D, F). H + E staining. Bar = 500μm (A and B), Bar = 200 μm (C and D), Bar = 100 μm (E and F)
