Figure 5. Pituitary gland weight is lower in old Ghsr-/- mice compared to age-matched wild-type littermates.

Figure 5

Isolated pituitary glands of young (4m) and old (24m) female Ghsr-/- and wild type mice (n = 4-5 mice per group) were isolated and weighed to assess the pituitary weight. The data are expressed in mg (+/- SD). P values indicate significant differences. Old Ghsr-/- demonstrate a significant reduction in pituitary weight compared to age-matched wild-type mice (P=0.0233). Moreover, Ghsr-/- mice also demonstrate a significantly lower pituitary weight with advancing age (young vs. old Ghsr-/-, P=0.0330; young vs. old wild-type, NS).
