Histological images of ovarian morphology after intraovarian treatment with either saline (a, b), 10% (c, d) and 20% (e, f) CaCl2 solution in 95% ethanol. Ovaries were recovered either 15 (a, c, e; groups GC, G10 and G20, respectively) or 30 (b, d, f; groups GC, G10 and G20, respectively) after treatment. In images c, d, e and f it’s possible to notice morphological changes in ovarian parenchyma. Also, in image d, it could be noticed the presence of areas of mineralization (yellow arrows) in ovarian bursa and fallopian tube. *GC = control group (saline solution); G10 = 20% calcium chloride diluted in 95% ethanol group; G20 = 20% calcium chloride diluted in 95% ethanol group; cm = centimeters
