Fig. 1From: Quantifying growing versus non-growing ovarian follicles in the mouseFollicles of homozygous Fragile X premutation mice contain elevated numbers of pyknotic nuclei. PM/PM ovarian follicles were found to contain more pyknotic nuclei than those from WT controls and PM/+ animals. Examples of mitotic (left insets at higher magnification) and pyknotic (right insets) granulosa cells are shown in the photomicrograph(s) in panel (a). PM/PM primary b and small preantral c follicles contained median numbers of pyknotic cells that exceed the ‘historical’ criteria for atretic follicles (red lines)Back to article page
