Histologic Evaluation of Ovary and Uterus via Rat Estrous Cycle

Abstract

Studies examining the female reproductive system in the rat model can be completed in a short time due to the 4-5-day-long estrous cycle, which is an advantage when compared to 28 days of menstrual cycle in humans. The present study aimed to create new insights for cytologi-cal and histological studies evaluating the rat estrous cycle with the compilation of the recent literature. Female rats were divided into 4 groups according to the vaginal smear examinations, as proestrous, estrous, metestrous and diestrous groups and ovaries as well as uterus samples were obtained. The samples were fixed in 10% formaline solution and prepared according the routine paraffin tissue processing protocol and embedded in paraffin. Five-micrometer-thick paraffin-embedded sections were stained with H-E and PAS. By microscopical analyzing the stained sections, primary structures in the ovary and uterus were assessed and the results were statistically compared between groups. Numbers of primary structures observed in the sections were compatible with the respective groups. While increased numbers of primary and secondary follicles in the groups of proestrous and estrous were detected, in metestrous group increased number of corpus luteum was obtained. The data obtained from different stages of rat estrous cycle were in agreement with the reports in the literature. It is suggested that the results of this study can be used as a source to plan advanced histological studies.
