• at 6 weeks, 8 to 11 weeks, and 3 months of age, the number of corpus luteums is increased compared to Inhbatm1Zuk/Inhbatm3Zuk mice
• the expression of a marker (Lhcgr) for healthy corpus luteums is increased relative to Inhbatm1Zuk/Inhbatm3Zuk mice
|
|
• between 8 and 11 weeks, the number of antral follicles is decreased compared to Inhbatm1Zuk/Inhbatm3Zuk mice
• at 8 months, follicles with lutenizing granulosa cells and multiple fluid-filled or hemorrhagic cysts are present

• between 8 and 11 weeks, the number of antral follicles is decreased compared to Inhbatm1Zuk/Inhbatm3Zuk mice
|
|
• at 8 months, multiple fluid-filled or hemorrhagic cysts are present that are positive for a granulose cell marker but not an epithelial marker
