Boxplots of the number of each follicle type per ovarian sample (each ovarian sample consists of nine tissue sections).

<p><i>N</i> = 24, saline (<i>n</i> = 6), buprenorphine (<i>n</i> = 9), meloxicam (<i>n</i> = 9). (Rank transformed, MANOVA: F(10,34) = 0.45, <i>p</i> = 0.91). (A) primordial follicles. (B) primary follicles. (C) secondary follicles. (D) early antral follicles. (E) antral follicles. (F) atretic follicles. The horizontal line in each box interior represents the median, the upper and lower whiskers show the maximum and minimum values, the upper hinge represents the 75^th percentile, the lower hinge represents the 25^th percentile, “o” represents an outside value, and asterisk (*) represents a far outside value.
