miR-21 and Pellino-1 Expression Profiling in Autoimmune Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

Figure 1

Ovary function and structure of mice. (a) The levels of E₂ and AMH decreased while the level of FSH significantly increased in the autoimmune POI group. (b) Ovarian structure was observed under light microscopy (×40) after embedding and staining. Follicles of every stage were legible in the control group. And the amounts of follicles decreased in autoimmune POI mice. (c) Follicle counts were observed under light microscopy. The amounts of follicles of every stage obviously are lower in the autoimmune POI group.
