Subtypes of active cell death in the granulosa of ovarian atretic follicles in the quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
Follicular atresia in the ovaries of Japanese quail was studied by cytochemistry and electron microscopy. Three different types of cell death coexisted in the granulosa. A large number of cells showed signs of apoptosis. The DNA fragmentation in these cells was demonstrated in a previous study using in situ end-labeling. A second and non-negligible type of cell death consisted of extensive autophagocytosis of the...
