Immunohistochemical detection of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in ovaries of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin-primed mice 7 h after human chorionic gonadotropin injection. Images are at a high magnification. BDNF was found in cumulus and mural granulosa cells of preovulatory follicles (arrows), whereas weaker staining was found in mural granulosa cells of small antral follicles (arrowheads). (a) BDNF staining. (b) Negative control. (Scale bars, 40 m m.)
