Mouse Ovary Normal and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Morphological comparison of control and DHEA-treated Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) mouse ovary.

  • A - Control ovary.
  • B - Corpus Luteum (CL) structure from control ovary.
  • C - DHEA-treated PCOS mouse ovary; showed different stage developing follicles but an increase in the number of cysts, preantral follicle and atretic follicles.
  • D - Follicular cyst (FC) structure from DHEA-treated PCOS mouse ovary. The morphology of cysts is characterized by a thin layer of theca cells and a compacted formation of granulosa cells.
