Figure 3. Photomicrographs of hematoxylin and eosin-stained ovarian sections at 4 days (magnification of 40X). Histological sections from the control group (A), bromelain-treated group (C), and A. comosus-treated group (E) show a similarity in organization but differences in follicular growth (black arrows). Histological sections from the irradiated group (B) show degeneration of oocytes in primary follicles (black arrows), irradiated group treated with bromelain (D) and irradiated group treated with A. comosus (F), have normal follicular growth (black arrows), oocytes in primary follicles are degenerating (red arrows) and little hemorrhage (blue arrows)
