Figure 6
Histological assessment of ovarian structure in control, Cd, IR, and IR + Cd treated rats. . Ovarian sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. A decrease in mature follicle in IR and IR + Cd group is compared with control group. Fibrosis (arrow) is detected in Cd, IR, and IR + Cd group when compared with control group. In IR and IR + Cd group increase in capillary thickness (arrow) can be detected.
