Morphology and Chemical Phenotype of the Ovarian Intrinsic Neurons in Neonate and Sexually Mature Reproductive Guinea Pig

Abstract

Introduction: The existence of ovarian intrinsic neurons is well established. However, the mor-phology and chemical phenotype are not completely characterized and are even unknown for some species used in medical research. The purpose of this work was to determine the morphology and chemical phenotype of intrinsic neurons of the guinea pig ovary at two ages: neonates (0 days old) and sexually mature reproductive animals (90 days old). Materials and Methods: For th
