FIGURE 4.
Fluorescent terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase biotin-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining of HG in hamsters in three photoperiodic groups. Immunofluorescence histochemistry showing cell apoptosis, cell boundaries, and nuclei. Blue represents 4′6′-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)-stained nucleus, red represents Alexa Fluor 647-stained laminin of interstitial tissue, green represents TUNEL by FITC. Scale bar = 50 μm. SP, short photoperiod; MP, moderate photoperiod; LP, long photoperiod.
