Effects of prenatal and preweaning exposure to EE2 and BPA on ovarian morphology and sex steroid hormones on PND 90. On PND 90, rats from each group were euthanized and one ovary from each animal was fixed for histological evaluation of different ovarian follicle types. Additionally, serum was collected from the blood of each of the animals and used in the measurement of sex steroid hormones. (a) Graph represents the means ± SEM of the number of the different follicle types and total healthy follicles present in 8 to 10 ovaries per treatment group. (b) Graph represents the means ± SEM of the amount of estradiol present in the serum of four to nine animals per group. (c) Graph represents the means ± SEM of the amount of progesterone present in the serum of four to nine animals per group. ^P > 0.05.
