Table 3. Relative expression of GnRH and gonadotropin mRNA with brief photostimulation.
| SD | PT Day 2 | PT Day 4 | PT Day 10 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GnRH | 3.46 ± 1.1 | 3.93 ± 1.3 | 3.38 ± 0.8 | 3.62 ± 1.3 |
| FSHβ | 3.96 ± 1.6 | 2.65 ± 0.8 | 1.55 ± 0.3 | 4.00 ± 0.8 |
| LHβ | 0.23 ± 0.1 | 0.31 ± 0.1 | 0.35 ± 0.1 | 0.15 ± 0.0 |
Relative real time PCR expression data of gene of interest normalized to HPRT-1 reference gene expression in Siberian hamster ovaries for 14 weeks of short photoperiod exposure (SD), or 2, 4, or 8 days post transfer to LD after 14 weeks of SD exposure (PT Day 2, 4, 8). Data are presented as mean ± SEM; no significant differences were noted between any groups.
