Table 2
Comparison analysis of follicles numbers in different aged monkey ovaries.
| | Groups | Number of ovaries counted | Number of sections counted per ovary | Number of healthy follicles per ovary per animal (mean ± SEM) | Number of atretic follicles per ovary per animal (mean ± SEM) | Total follicles per ovary per animal (mean ± SEM) |
| | Young | 3 | 31 | 22097 ± 1243.0 | 400.7 ± 21.4 | 22498 ± 1264.0 | | Middle-aged | 3 | 33 | 12581 ± 512.7 | 534.7 ± 39.1 | 13115 ± 499.4 | | Old | 3 | 20 | 7.3 ± 2.3 | 2.7 ± 1.1 | 10.0 ± 1.3 |
