Effects of Spirulina on Cyclophosphamide-Induced Ovarian Toxicity in Rats: Biochemical and Histomorphometric Evaluation of the Ovary

Table 2

Analysis of ovarian follicle counts in all groups (mean of number of counts of given follicle types per ovary for each group).

Groups	Nprmd	Aprmd	Nprm	Aprm
C (#6)	22.0±5.6	6.50±1.4	10.3±2.8	3.5±1.8
CP (#6)	20.5±3.3	12.2±3.5	6.2±1.2	5.8±2.3
Sp+Cyc (#6)	23.5±3.2	5.8±1.2	14.17±4.2	3.50±1.1

C: control group, CP: cyclophosphamide group, Sp+Cyc: Spirulina+cyclophosphamide group, Nprmd: normal primordial follicle count, Aprmd: atretic primordial follicle count, Nprm: normal primary follicle count, Aprm: atretic primary follicle count. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. No statistically significant difference was found between the groups C and CP; or between CP and Sp+Cyc (𝑃>0.05).
