Photomicrographs displaying the immunoexpressing for estrogen receptor in the ovarian and uterine sections of rabbits during the follicular and luteal phases. (a & c): sections of ovary in the follicular phase exhibiting positive ER expression in zona pellucida (ZP) and granulosa cells (GC) of (a) primary follicle and (c) secondary follicle. (b & d): sections of ovary in the luteal phase revealing positive reactivity for ER in (b) zona pellucida (ZP) and granulosa cells (GC) of primary follicle and (d) granulosa lutein cells (GL) of corpus luteum. (e & g): sections of uterus in the follicular phase showing strong expression for ER receptor in the (e) luminal epithelium (arrows), (g) endometrial glands (G), and blood vessels (BV). (f & h) sections of uterus in the luteal phase displaying less reactivity for ER receptor in (f) endometrial epithelium (arrows) and (h) glands (G). (X400, Scale bar = 50 μm)
