Healthy ovarian follicle count estimates from groups that had intact ovaries throughout the experiment (sham and hysterectomy groups). Primordial, primary, and secondary follicles did not differ between groups. Hysterectomy-operated rats had marginally fewer antral follicles compared to sham-operated rats. Corpora lutea counts did not differ between groups. ^P < 0.10.
