Figure 6. Gene expression in the BNSTp of WT and ARKO mice on ED18 and PD4.

The mRNA levels of AR (A), aromatase (B), ERα (C), and ERβ (D) were normalized to the amount of total RNA. The number in each column indicates the number of animals used in the experiments. Values (mean ± SEM) with different letters differ significantly (p<0.05). *, p<0.05 vs. WT male mice on PD4. ND, not detected. AR mRNA levels in one WT male and one WT female were almost undetectable on ED18 (data not shown).
