Fig. 1From: miRNA sequencing analysis of healthy and atretic follicles of chickens revealed that miR-30a-5p inhibits granulosa cell death via targeting Beclin1Comparison of morphology, histological characteristics and plasma hormone levels. (A, B) Morphological characteristics of the healthy follicles and atretic follicles. (C) Hematoxylin-eosin staining of the paraffin sections of the healthy follicles and atretic follicles. The red straight line represent the granular layer, and the thickness of healthy follicles and atretic follicles have been measured, μm (n = 9). (D) Serum hormone levels in the laying chicken and broody chicken (n = 3). **P < 0.01. Data are presented as mean ± SEMBack to article page
