Representative photomicrographs of FSHr immunoreaction sections of the different experimental groups. a Group I (control group) showed a very mild positive nuclear reaction in a few of the surface epithelial cells. b Group II (OA group) showed limited FSHr nuclear expression in select surface epithelial cells. c, d Group III and group IV (OA + PMSG group and OA + BM-MSCs group) revealed a moderate FSHr expression in stratified surface epithelial cells. e Group V (OA + PMSG+ BM-MSCs group) resulted in a strong FSHr expression in the majority of surface epithelial cells. f Histogram representing the mean area percentage of FSHr immunoreaction in all experimental groups. The significant differences against the chemo-ablated group indicated by a “*” for p < 0.05 and a “**” for p < 0.01. Data are shown as mean ± S.E.M, n = 7
