Figure 4. qPCR validation of AR mRNA levels in the isthmus, uterus and vagina of the oviduct in P. sinensis during the hibernation (from November to the next April) and non-hibernation (July) seasons.
In the vagina, the values (*) obtained in January and April were significantly different (P < 0.05) from those obtained in July. In the uterus, the values (*) obtained in April were significantly different (P < 0.05) from those obtained in July. In the isthmus, the values (*) obtained in April were significantly different (P < 0.05) from those obtained in July.
