Percentage of Luteinising Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)-positive cells (Gonadotrophs) and Growth Hormone (GH)-Positive Cells (Somatotrophs) in Wild-Type and Mutant Female Mice as a Percentage of Total Anterior Pituitary Secretory Cell Number.
Control | FSHβKO | FSHRKO | LuRKO | hpg | Ovariectomised | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
% LH and FSH positive cells | 14 ± 2 | 16 ± 3 | 18 ± 2 | 18 ± 2 | 9 ± 1* | 12 ± 1 |
% GH positive cells | 55 ± 3 | 55 ± 2 | 57 ± 2 | 50 ± 2 | 53 ± 4 | 51 ± 2 |
Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 4 animals). hpg, hypogonadal; KO, knockout; LuR, luteinising hormone receptor; R, receptor.
P < 0.05 versus control.
