Figure 6

In contrast to wild-type ovaries (A, B) homozygous Cx4326/26 knock-in mice reveal only few follicles and no corpora lutea (C). Maturation of follicles appears to be arrested at the early secondary stage (D). The morphology of most follicles was impaired and showed a cyst like structure (D, arrows). Some ovaries consisted of one big cyst (E).
