Effect of Formaldehyde and Curcumin on Histomorphological Indices, Gene Expression Associated with Ovarian Follicular Development, and Total Antioxidant to Oxidant Levels in Wistar Rats

Figure 1

Ovarian cylindrical paraffin block was divided into sections using isotropic uniform random (IUR). (a) Sections of ovarian tissue were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). (b) The volumes of the cortex, medulla, and corpus luteum were measured using a point-counting technique. (c) The optical dissector method was used to estimate the number of follicles (d).
