Immunoreactivity of cytochrome b5, an accessory protein for androgen synthesis, within aging macaque ovaries with high (A), intermediate (B) and low (C) primordial follicle counts. Distinct changes in morphology and abundance of immunostaining with declining follicle populations. (A) Large population of developing and atretic follicles with abundant immunostaining; primordial follicle count 3546. Bar represents 400 μm. (B) Small population of immunopositive growing follicles with numerous atretic follicles; primordial follicle count 600. Bar represents 200 μm. (C) Few immunopositive atretic follicles (arrow) and secondary interstitial cells within the residual ovarian stromal tissue; primordial follicle count 0. Bar represents 200 μm
