Table 1 Impact of Ag-NPs and/or CS-SeNPs on the area (µm2) of rat ovarian tissue specimens coated with collagen fibers

Groups	Control	CS-SeNPs	Ag-NPs	Ag-NPs + CS-SeNPs
Masson’s trichrome stain (µm²)	82.39 ± 5.63 ^{b, c}	82.44 ± 8.75 ^{b, c}	219.61 ± 13.20 ^{a, c, d}	173.19 ± 12.52 ^{a, b, d}

The values (n = 10 rats/group) are shown as the mean ± SD. A P value ≤ 0.05 indicates a significant difference between means in the same row with different small superscript letters
