D shows the relation between oocyte-zona pellucida-granulosa cells; e-h show granulosa cells and I shows the theca cell layer. Note the apoptotic granulosa (e, k) and theca cells (i, l) in PCOS and solvent groups. Arrows indicate expanded perivitellin (d) and intercellular spaces (d, i); arrowheads indicate expanded sER (f) and autophagosomes (e); *: lipid droplets; dashed arrows (g, h): mitochondria with degenerated cristae.
