The numbers of primary, preantral, antral, cystic follicles, and corpus in the ovaries of TE induced mice in different groups

Groups	Primary follicle	Preantral follicle	Antral follicle	Cystic follicle	Corpus luteum
Control	13.5±1.04	17.33±0.66	6.5±0.42	- # #	5.16±0.30
PCOS	12.33±1.63	8.5±0.42 #	2.83±0.42 #	3.66±0.21 #	0.66±0.21 #

In PCOS groups treated with SPE, a significant increase in the number of the follicles (except for the primary follicle group) was observed. In addition, there was a significant reduction in the number of ovarian cysts. All values are presented as the means±SEMs (n=12 per group). TE, Testosterone enanthate; # p<0.001 vs. control, *** p<0.001, ** p<0.01, * p<0.05 vs. TE.

^#In the control group, as the normal and healthy group, no effects of cystic follicles were observed in histological analysis and cystic follicles were seen only in the groups induced for polycystic ovary syndrome
