Figure 4

Sox-2 immunoreactivity (starred) in the zinc group was significantly increased compared to the control group. Progesterone and zinc + progesterone group revealed similar immunoreactivity to the control group: control group (a), zinc group (b), progesterone (c), and zinc + progesterone group (d). Scale bar is 125 μm; original magnification is 10x.
