Oxidized Oils and Oxidized Proteins Induce Apoptosis in Granulosa Cells by Increasing Oxidative Stress in Ovaries of Laying Hens

Figure 1

Effect of dietary oxidized oil and oxidized protein on ovary histology of laying hens. Images of the ovaries from each treatment were captured using a camera. Black arrows indicated atretic follicle (a, ). Ovary histology was from ovarian tissue in which small yellow follicles and hierarchical follicle were excluded. Hematoxylin and eosin stain shows the appearance of ooplasm (). The enclosed box in each panel shows the overall images (b). CON: control; OP: oxidized protein; OO: oxidized oil; Combination: oxidized oil+oxidized protein.
