Early ovarian regression was analyzed in the neotropical freshwater teleost, curimata-pacu (Prochilodus argenteus), in order to evaluate follicular apoptosis, basement membrane morphology, and integrin beta sub(1) and collagen type IV immunostainning in postovulatory follicles. Mature females were i...
