Oxytocin Improves Follicular Reserve in a Cisplatin-Induced Gonadotoxicity Model in Rats

Figure 1

Histological evaluation of ovaries in control (a), CP + saline (b), and CP + OT group (c). Control group showed normal stroma and epithelium whereas cisplatin caused stromal and follicular damage. Treatment of rats with OT significantly ameliorated CP-induced changes in ovaries. Stroma (s), corpus luteum (CL), primordial follicle (p), secondary follicle (sf), surface epithelium (e), and capillary (c). Hematoxylin and eosin staining, ×20 magnification.
