Figure 3. Expression of LHR and Zfp36 family mRNAs in synchronized ovaries from WT and ΔN-Zfp36l2 females.

Figure 3

Total RNA was extracted from ovaries harvested on the morning on which the vaginal plug was detected. (A) LHR mRNA levels in ovaries from ΔN-Zfp36l2 mice are significantly higher when compared to WT. (B) Zfp36l2 mRNA was lower in ΔN-Zfp36l ovaries when compared to WT counterparts. (C) LHR and ΔN-Zfp36l2 mRNA levels are inversely correlated, Pearson correlation coefficient  =  -0.9108. The mRNA levels of the other ZFP36 family members, Ttp (D) and Zfp36l1 (E) were similar in WT and ΔN-Zfp36l2 ovaries. ‘p’ values were calculated using Student's t-test.
