Fsh gene is not expressed but the hormone is detectable in chicken abdominal adipose tissue. A: Fsh mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR. Lanes 1–3: negative control, positive control (pituitary), and abdominal adipose tissue, respectively. M, DL2000 marker. No expected product was detected in abdominal adipose tissue. B1: Immunocytochemical detection of FSH protein in abdominal adipose tissue: positive signal appears as brown staining surrounding the fat locule (inverted microscope, 200×). B2: The negative control.
