Lack of a circadian pattern in Kiss1 gene expression in OVX females. A, Representative dark-field photomicrographs showing Kiss1 mRNA-expressing cells in the AVPV of OVX mice housed in constant conditions and killed at different time points throughout the circadian day. B, Mean (±sem) number of Kiss1 mRNA-expressing neurons in the AVPV of OVX female mice housed in constant conditions and killed at one of eight time points throughout the circadian day. C, Mean (±sem) number of silver grains per Kiss1 cell in the AVPV of OVX mice killed across the circadian day. D, Mean (±sem) percentage of Kiss1 mRNA-containing neurons in the AVPV that coexpress c-fos in OVX female mice. In A–C, there was no significant difference in the measures between any of the circadian time points (P > 0.90 for all measures). n = 3–5 animals per group.
