Microscopic changes of ovaries in relation to inflammatory mediators of blood plasma in superovulated rats
This study was aimed to evaluate the microscopic changes that occur within the ovary and to assess the level of inflammatory mediators in blood plasma in rats that are superovulated. Eighteen female 12 weeks old Sprague Dawley rats were used in this study whereby histological sections of ovaries wer...
