Abstract excerpt
In order to study alterations of angiogenesis and blood vessel regression through ovarian cycle in human ovaries we quantitatively examined vascularity in various stages in 24 normal human ovaries. Vascular density (VD; vessel numbers/10(-7) m2) and endothelial area of each vessel (EA; 10(-12) m2...
