Fig. 4

A photomicrograph of H&E-stained sections (100 ×) of the ovary of female albino rat showing: A control ovary with normal ovarian follicles and corpus luteum in different stages of development. B PCOS group with numerous ovarian cysts. The cysts appeared thin walled with degraded granulosa cells, degenerated oocyte and pale acidophilic residues. C PCOS + LC group with ovarian cysts. The cysts appeared smaller in size. Notice the increase in the granulosa cell layer. D PCOS + CLO group nearly the same as LTZ group. C: Control group, PCOS: letrozole induced polycystic ovarian syndrome, PCOS + LC: letrozole induced polycystic ovarian syndrome treated with l-Carnitine, PCOS + CLO: letrozole induced polycystic ovarian syndrome treated with Clomiphene Citrate
