Ovarian structure in different groups (H&E, ×4). Normal rats showed developing ovarian follicles in different stages (A), HFD diabetic rats showed more preantral and antral atretic follicles (B). A. esculentus and Metformin treated rats (C and D) showed decreased number of preantral and antral atretic follicles and increased the number of antral follicles and growing CL. SF: secondary follicle, TF: tertiary follicle, G:graafian follicle, PAA: preantral atretic and AA: antral atretic follicles, CL: corpus luteum, M: medulla
