Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does an imbalance between apoptosis and proliferation contribute to follicular persistence in polycystic ovaries in rats?
Answer: These results show that the combination of weak proliferation indices and low apoptosis observed in follicular cysts, could explain the cause of the slow growth of cystic follicles and the maintenance of a static condition without degeneration, which leads to their persistence. These alterations may be due to structural and functional modifications that take place in these cells and could be related to hormonal changes in animals with this condition.
Output (English): yes
