Table 2.
Comparison of the number of Different follicular groups in control and PCOS and green tea extract-treated ovaries (n=10). Note the increase in the numbers of cysts and a decrease in the number of corpus luteum of PCOS ovaries, respectively. A significant increase in all follicular clusters is detected in green tea extract -treated PCOS ovaries. Moreover, a significant decrease in the number of ovarian cysts is also detected. PMF, Primordial Follicle; PF, Primary Follicle; PAF, Preantral Follicle, AF, Antral Follicle; CF, Cystic Follicle; CL, Corpus Luteum. ***P<0.001; **P<0.01; *P<0.05
